Our online community has incredible members who regularly take part in giving back to their community.  We found this newsworthy item on one of our forum threads and decided it needed more exposure:

Family Promise of Lake Houston provides housing, counseling and other services for local (temporarily) homeless families.  After 2+ years of planning, organizing, and fund raising, they opened our doors last August.

Their maximum capacity is 3 families at a time, and they need transportation to move the families from their overnight locations to the Day Center each day for their day's required activities.

Family Promise has been borrowing, renting, and repairing vehicles to get by, but they really need a new or good used 15-passenger van.

During April, they applied for, and received, a spot in the Pepsi Refresh Everything grant program where, if their entry receives enough votes during May, they could receive a 25K grant for a new van!

Please go to http://www.refresheverything.com/vanofhope and vote for the Family Promise Van of Hope.

You are allowed to vote once every time your computer is logged on to the internet, and you can vote every day in May.

Thank you for all of your support!!!

Let’s show that our online community can make positive change happen, when we all work together. Cast your vote, today and everyday for the rest of May.
