Our Story
Family Promise of Linn County was established in 2010, born from the desire of local faith communities to support neighbors in need. In the aftermath of the devastating 2008 flood, Cedar Rapids and surrounding areas faced a surge in homelessness. A dedicated volunteer team, guided by the national Family Promise office, worked tirelessly to bring this vision to life. Since opening its doors in January 2013, Family Promise has provided a warm and welcoming environment for families striving for sustainable independence. With a centrally located Day Center offering essential services like showers, laundry, and job search assistance, families are empowered to regain stability.
