Today we have 158 affiliates in 41 states, with more in development. Family Promise is a leader in promoting volunteerism and has served as a model of American volunteerism in the U. S. and abroad. Our programs involve more than 130,000 volunteers. They provide assistance to more than 47,000 family members annually.
