Hands and Feet of Service — Supporting Homeless Families in Jacksonville

Our speaker Beth Mixon was named executive director of Family Promise Jacksonville in June 2025 after holding many positions for the organization throughout her 13 year career.  Beth states that our best day is when a family graduates to housing  or we help a family stay in their home. She has spoken at many churches throughout Jacksonville to spread the word about the problem of homeless families and the solutions that Family Promise offers.
