For the past 12 years, Family Promise Union County has operated out of First Baptist Church in Elizabeth. In the summer of 2021, Hurricane Ida brought severe flooding that destroyed equipment and supplies and rendered our offices unusable. Despite the damage, we quickly set up a makeshift workspace in another area of the church building and continued operations without interruption. With the demand in services, we needed to find a space better suited to deliver our programs. In 2022, we were awarded an $875,000 Congressional Direct Spending Grant, sponsored by New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, to purchase and renovate a new building. After closing and renovations, we are now settled in our new headquarters at 905 Watchung Avenue in Plainfield and are excited to serve even more families.
