Why Work For Us?: 

Family Promise of Southwestern Pennsylvania (FPSWPA) is a small organization with a large reach. Our superpower is the volunteer base we engage. We have a network of churches that gird us up and provide us with support we would never be able to pay for. We provide assistance to children and families at the lowest point in their lives; when they are homeless or in danger of becoming homeless.
