Family Fun Fair
A Family Promise Hudson County & Girl Scouts Troop 12912 Collab
Family Promise of Hudson County recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Girl Scouts Troop 12912 to host our very first Family Fun Day Fair!
It was an incredible, children-friendly event filled with exciting games, fun activities, and countless moments of joy for families to enjoy together. We were thrilled to offer a variety of activities that kept the little ones entertained and engaged, while also providing opportunities for the entire family to bond and make lasting memories.
Throughout the day, attendees had the chance to participate in raffles, win door prizes, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere that was created by our wonderful volunteers and partners. The event was a true celebration of community, bringing families together for a day of fun and connection.
We are grateful to everyone who came out to support us, and to the Girl Scouts Troop 12912 for their dedication and hard work in helping bring this event to life. It was a memorable day that will be cherished by all who attended!

Mark the Moment: The Promise Awards was a celebratory fundraiser cocktail party honoring all of the past dedicated FPHC Board Members, wonderful volunteers, compassionate houses of worship, and generous organizations who have helped Family Promise of Hudson County since our inception.

The celebration took place August 14th, from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at Grace Van Vorst Church in Jersey City (39 Erie St, Jersey City, NJ 07302).
