Special Update

We have had a fantastic summer of volunteers working at the Kari House! New paint in the shared living spaces, kitchen cabinet doors replaced, new handicapped accessible coded door entries, and much needed yard work! Thank you so much for your help!

More work is needed to replace caulking around bathtubs, winterize the doors, and eventually level the corner of the house that is beginning to sag.

Our guest families appreciate all that is offered at Family Promise Mat-Su. We could not continue serving them without your help. Thank you for supporting us! Donate through Paypal
