Dear fellow cyclists and supporters of Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley:

Our 3^rd Annual Bike Tour takes place Saturday May 19, 2018! Let’s each find as many friends and coworkers as we can to be partners in supporting this outstanding organization. Set a high goal for raising funds and then go out and surpass it!

Choose your own mileage. You can ride as little as 8 miles, choose the 16-mile short round trip route, or if you are fully prepared, over 60 miles!

The Bike Tour is not a race and riders are expected to stay behind the designated lead rider. Our focus is to have a safe, enjoyable ride and raise a lot o...

Family Promise SGV is so grateful for our friends and partners in the community. In recent months we’ve been blessed by a number of generous gifts and special visits.

Naomi Hiraga, owner of Curves Alhambra
Community Bank: Ed Morales, an employee and member of our Board, arranged for FPSGV to be a beneficiary of the company’s Jeans Day. Throughout 2017, employees at 17 branches donated $2 to wear jeans on Fridays, raising $11,065 for several charities.
Curves Alhambra: Owner Naomi Hiraga held a holiday drive to collect new towels and linens, personal care products, and financial gifts. She provided a wonderful surprise when she arrived at FPSGV with all the beautiful gifts.

One West Bank: During its holiday Share the Warmth drive, One West branches collected warm clothes and personal care items for FPSGV and other area Family Promise affiliates throughout the San Gabriel Valley. Employees from the Hastings Ranch branch also brought dessert and visited with our families.

I’m always in awe of how things happen just when they need to happen. Things at Family Promise SGV looked a bit overwhelming this past week with Andrew (our previous case manager) leaving for another job, and Leon (our volunteer) returning to his work. We had much to do but not many workers in the field.Then all of a sudden the phone rang and on the other end was Renee—one of our first guests in 2011. Renee said she wanted to volunteer and “give back” to FP. She works, but is available on Thursday afternoons, and she started last week as our administrative assistant.Renee and her two children, Amen and Autumn, are a delightful family. During their stay with us, I remember taking the picture of Autumn, whose hands...
