oyster roast, live music, and fellowship. More than just a social gathering, the event serves as a critical lifeline for FPPC’s mission to provide shelter, stability, and a path toward long-term independence for families in crisis.

In the past year, Family Promise of Pickens County’s dedicated staff provided essential services to 217 individuals, including 64 families and 136 children. As the need for housing assistance grows within the county, FPPC remains committed to responding with dignity and compassion through its shelter, prevention, and stabilization programs.

“Our annual events are a meaningful source of support that allows us to keep families together and sheltered,” said Nath Briley, Executive Director at Family Promise of Pickens County. “The funds raised at Shuckin’ for Shelter directly impact our ability to respond effectively when a family faces a housing crisis.”

Family Promise is currently seeking sponsors and donors to ensure the success of the event. Support from the community translates into tangible results:

Emergency Assistance: Contributions help prevent evictions, avoiding the long-term trauma and costs of homelessness.

Housing Stability: Funds can cover first and last month’s rent for families transitioning to permanent housing.

Essential Supplies: Donations provide necessities such as diapers, infant formula, toiletries, and shoes for children entering the program.

To be recognized in event marketing materials, sponsorship commitments are requested by Feb. 20.
