Family Promise of South Sarasota County (FPSSC) is pleased to announce registration, donation information, and walk details for the 7^th Annual Dream Walk. This event is a Peer-to-Peer Fundraiser with a charity walk that will be on Saturday, October 14, 2023. Funds raised from Dream Walk support FPSSC’s comprehensive programs for families with minor children. The event will feature a choice of a short or long walking path, engaging activities at each stop along the way, and culminates with entertainment and a pancake breakfast. 

Jennifer Fagenbaum, Executive Director of Family Promise of South Sarasota County stated, “With housing and interest rates in Sarasota County at an all-time high and very little change in salaries, many families can no longer make ends meet. Every child deserves a home. Dream Walk brings the community to together to be part of the solution. It is also a very fun event that we look forward to every year.”

This will fund the newly created Sarasota County Program, Resilient SRQ.

Family promise SSC is hard at work assisting families in our community to find and acquire sustainable housing so that they can stop worrying about whether or not they are going to be able to pay the increasing costs of day to day life and have a roof over their family’s head. We are working on several projects, in fact, to help create that housing that they can afford. Please call or email me to discuss if you are interested in being part of the solution to the housing crisis, 941-497-9881 x106 or jenniferfagenbaum@familypromisessc.org. I would love to talk with you and see how together we can solve this issue.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Fagenbaum, Executive Director
