Families experiencing homelessness face so many barriers to overcome on the road back to financial stability and success. Money for gas and high fuel prices create an overwhelming burden that can quickly eat away at a family’s razor thin financial margins.
Make a gift today that will have tremendous, tangible benefits with a donation of a gas card. Please act today for a family’s tomorrow.
Please drop off purchased gas cards at the Seacoast Family Promise office
at 27 Hampton Road in Exeter. For more information, email director@seacoastfamilypromise.org or call 603-658-8448.

A car is cost saving, as it is far cheaper than paying for Ubers or taxis. In addition, driving shows responsibility and provides freedom and flexibility. And with so few public transportation options in the region, the simple truth is, you’re gassing up or you’re going nowhere.
