When Family Promise of White County was established, I volunteered as Coordinator for my church to help house and feed the families who would pass through the program. Many became friends..
I am proud of this program, although it is small in comparison to other charities many people have benefitted from what we offer. The program is growing and I see it making more of a difference every day. With the help of this community we will continue to grow and thrive and make a difference in the lives of many.

Because of their love of the mountains, but wanting to remain close to family, Kathy and her husband chose to move to Cleveland shortly after her retirement. They selected The Bridge as their home church where they are actively involved in guest services.
Kathy has a heart for single mothers and parents struggling to raise their children in a healthy, safe home which, coupled with her desire to serve others in the community, led her to volunteer at the Cleveland Care Center and Family Promise of White and Habersham (FPWH).
