A virtual Holiday concert<br />
of inspiration and hope<br />
December 5, <strong>2020</strong> at 7 pm
From Our Director<br />
Welcome to our <strong>Keeping</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Promise</strong> concert, a celebration that<br />
represents what can happen with a little imagination, some<br />
talented musicians, and a thoughtful, caring community. When<br />
we realized earlier this year that our annual Keep <strong>the</strong> <strong>Promise</strong><br />
gala would need to change, we thought about creative ways to<br />
bring people toge<strong>the</strong>r safely while celebrating all we were able<br />
to accomplish toge<strong>the</strong>r this year despite COVID. The idea of a<br />
concert to feed <strong>the</strong> soul and bring us all toge<strong>the</strong>r to celebrate<br />
<strong>the</strong> season while supporting our families quickly emerged.<br />
This past year has brought unprecedented challenges for our<br />
families, yet we have never been stronger. To date in <strong>2020</strong>, we<br />
have supported a total of 49 families with 87 children in our<br />
Shelter, Transitional Living, and LIFE homelessness prevention<br />
programs—more than any o<strong>the</strong>r year in <strong>the</strong> history of Family<br />
<strong>Promise</strong> Metrowest. And while <strong>the</strong>se families have faced<br />
unemployment, health issues, threats of eviction, and childcare<br />
challenges, because of <strong>the</strong> generosity of our community, <strong>the</strong>y<br />
have all had a safe place to call home.<br />
Tonight we thank <strong>the</strong> generous musicians who donated <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
time and talent to make this event possible. We also thank each<br />
of you for joining us and for caring about <strong>the</strong> future of our<br />
families. Enjoy this evening and have a joyful holiday season<br />
knowing your donations tonight will make a difference in <strong>the</strong><br />
lives of o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
With gratitude,<br />
Susan Crossley, Executive Director
