Spring 2026 Update
Families in our community are still waiting. Your support can help us respond.
Dear FPE Supporters,
We’re reaching out one more time as part of our Spring Appeal—families in our community are still waiting for help.
Each week, more families are added to a growing waitlist as our resources are stretched beyond capacity. We are continuing to receive more than 400 calls each month from parents doing everything they can to keep their children safe and their lives on track.
We wish we could say yes to every family. Right now, we cannot.
You may remember the Ellis Family, who came to us after losing the home they had for 14 years and facing the very real possibility of homelessness.
Because someone chose to give, their story changed. Today, their story looks very different.
With support from FPE and donors like you, the Ellis Family secured stable housing and rebuilt their foundation. They are now completing our Rapid Rehousing program and moving forward with stability and independence.
Today, we are asking you to make that same difference. For another family.
We are working to respond to the families currently on our waitlist for assistance in the coming days, but we cannot do it without additional support.
Your support can make an immediate impact:
$100 helps provide groceries for a family
$500 helps cover urgent utility bills
$1,000+ helps with a security deposit for permanent housing
If you’ve been considering a gift, we hope you’ll act today. Families are still waiting, and your support can make all the difference.
