Natick, MA – November 21, 2024 – On November 20, Family Promise Metrowest (FPM) was recognized as the Nonprofit Partner of the Year at the MetroWest Chamber of Commerce’s 2024 Annual Meeting, celebrating the organization’s contributions to addressing family homelessness and housing instability in the MetroWest community.

This award underscores FPM’s impact and its commitment to fostering collaboration with local businesses, faith communities, and individuals to create pathways into sustainable housing.

Danielle Conti, Executive Director of Family Promise Metrowest, reflected on the honor: “At Family Promise Metrowest, we work every day to lift up families facing overwhelming challenges, and we do it by partnering with a community that shares our vision of a brighter future for all. Being named the Nonprofit Partner of the Year is a profound reminder of the power of collaboration.

Together, we have tackled some of the most pressing issues of our time—family homelessness, the skyrocketing costs of housing and childcare, and the toll of low wages. And the impact is life-changing, especially for the children. Every time we help a family find stability, we’re giving their children the chance to dream again, to learn without fear of losing their home, and to grow up in a world where they feel supported and valued.”

In 2024 alone, Family Promise Metrowest has expanded its reach significantly, serving more families than ever through programs like the Local Initiative for Family Empowerment (LIFE), which saw a 50% increase in families served this year. The organization has also provided critical assistance with shelter, eviction prevention, and educational scholarships, ensuring families can achieve long-term stability.

The MetroWest Chamber of Commerce’s recognition shines a spotlight on the role that FPM plays in the community. This award further energizes the organization’s mission to transform lives through the power of community-driven support.
