Family Promise of Bergen County helps families and adults facing homelessness find food, shelter and a path forward. The Youth Council is the teen arm of that work, and members plan and carry out the projects themselves. Meetings run monthly through the school year, with dinner shifts and events in between. Members serve neighbors in their own county, often face to face.
