Families Together Honored

Families Together Honored

Last month GlaxoSmithKline recognized Families Together along with nine other organizations with the Impact award for building a healthier community. We are so honored to have our mission of moving families from homelessness to home recognized.

We work tirelessly to combat child homelessness in our community and were able to serve 454 children this year. The ceremony was held on November 16 at GSK in the Sir Paul Girolami Research center in Research Triangle Park where along with the award we received a check for $40,000! Then on #GivingTuesday we were informed the GSK employees voted for Families Together to win an additional $10,000 after watching this video.

We are extremely honored for the accolades, but none of this would have been possible if it were not for all of our allies who have joined us in facing the fact that more and more the face of homelessness is that of a child. Thank you to all the board members, donors, churches, corporations, and volunteers for your contributions. This awards is a reflection of everything you do and belongs to you as much as it does to us.
