Faith Family Hospitality
As of January 1, 2020, the FFH Day Center will be moving to a new location -- it will no longer be at Ft. Collins Mennonite Fellowship. Also, FCMF will no longer be a hosting church, but we will remain a supporting church for FFH. This means families will not be staying in our church, but we will be providing food and volunteers to another hosting church.
Faith Family Hospitality (FFH) is an amazing program that provides fellowship, overnight housing, meals, and support to local families experiencing homelessness. These may be families who have recently lost their homes, are living in cars, or are "couch-surfing" -- staying with friends and moving from place to place.
The stress of not having a permanent residence can be too much for people to handle on their own and FFH provides a hand up!
This volunteer effort coordinates the service of 27 Fort Collins faith communities (13 host sites and 14 support congregations). Host churches, like Fort Collins Mennonite Fellowship, provide a place for families in the program to live and eat; the support churches provide volunteers to cook food and visit with the families. A dedicated social worker also helps the families organize their search for social services.
In a nutshell, each host church in FFH provides a safe, consistent place for families to stay and rest while they save money and focus on obtaining permanent housing . . . instead of worrying where they will spend the night!
