The 8th annual Cardboard Box City, one of Family Promise’s most popular events, will take place on Friday, October 3, 2014, under the Pavilion at Bogert Park in Bozeman. Youth groups, community groups, fraternal & social organizations, Scouts, neighborhood groups -- all can take part in this fun and important event! Participants collect pledges of $100 or more per box. They then set up their decorated cardboard box homes starting at 5:00 pm on Friday night. Dinner is served and incredible prizes are given during our annual Parade of Boxes. Participants then enjoy a fun evening under the stars with music, games, and entertainment. Family Promise of Gallatin Valley is a nonprofit in Bozeman that assists homeless families to regain their independence. Since we opened our doors in 2006, over 80% of the families completing the Family Promise program have successfully attained stable housing and employment. Help us to raise money and raise awareness of family homelessness in the Gallatin Valley! Details will be sent out later in the summer but it’s never too early to start thinking of your cardboard creation!
