For years, Family Promise operated through a rotational model made possible by the generosity of local faith partners. Families moved from church to church weekly, carrying their belongings and their uncertainty with them. While this model allowed the program to exist, it also meant constant disruption for families already in crisis. In 2020, the global pandemic forced us to pivot quickly to a temporary fixed location. When that temporary space was no longer available, Family Promise adapted once again to a new location, reconfiguring offices and program space just to ensure families had somewhere to stay.

Through every challenge, Family Promise has continued to show up, and the impact has been remarkable. But these makeshift solutions are not sustainable. Today, Family Promise is operating without a true home of its own—just like the families it serves. Without a permanent campus, families still face instability during the most critical time in their lives, the program cannot operate at full capacity or efficiency, services remain fragmented and harder to access, families experience isolation rather than connection. Essentially, without a permanent home for Family Promise of Davie County, families lack what they need most: a consistent, safe, and fully equipped environment where they can begin again.

A site has been secured at the corner of Depot and Williams Streets through a generous in-kind land donation, and initial designs have been developed in partnership with local architect, John Fuller. The site is conveniently located just a few blocks from downtown Mocksville. Benefits of this site include, but are not limited to: easy access to public transportation (not easily accessible at our current location); a short walk to services, job opportunities, year-round town events, and shops in downtown Mocksville—allowing for greater opportunity to be an active part of the Mocksville community.

Construction on our Building the Promise project is expected to start in the fall of 2026 and conclude in the winter of 2027.

Gifts and pledges can be made by completing the Campaign Commitment Form. Payments can be made by check, credit or debit card, electronic funds transfer (direct debit/online check), stock/securities, IRA rollover (Qualified Charitable Distribution), and donor-advised funds.

We serve families experiencing homelessness in Davie County, where a “family” is defined as at least one child and one adult held together by bonds of love and commitment, and where the adult(s) have the responsibility for the care and nurturing of the child(ren). Local Davie County families take priority always. However, if resources are available, we will consider serving a family from one of our surrounding counties on a case-by-case basis.

Our most important outcome measurement is the percentage of families who remain housed at least 12 months after they’ve completed our program. Each calendar year, we also measure the number of families served, the number of children served, and how many nights of shelter were provided. Since 2017, we have served more than 700 families and more than 1,200 children.

Family Promise of Davie County is funded through several revenue streams, including private donations from individuals (39%), local businesses (16%), and congregations (7%); awarded grants from local and regional Foundations (37%); and our transitional housing fee-for-service sliding-scale model (1%).
