Our Board Members
I serve with Family REACH Alliance because it is a great way for the residents of a community to meet the needs of those that are in need in their own community. It leverages resources that already exist in the community and engages families in assisting other families in need. The ecumenical component is important too.
Stephanie Dupepe-President
I value my support for Family REACH Alliance because too often, disadvantaged people are feared, or blamed, for their own problems. By offering the community safe ways to spend time with families in crisis, Family Promise is able to reduce a major barrier to ending homelessness. Family REACH Alliance can make a difference
Dr. Bonnie Lewis-Secretary
I believe that with leadership & knowledge, comes responsibility. Informed by our faith, believing it is the very heart of God, my wife and I strive to lift up those on the underside of power – the downtrodden, the forgotten, and the marginalized. Service to Family REACH Alliance is a work that moves that faith into real life, tangible work for others.
Kim Carver-Treasurer
Most people don’t realize the growing need to serve homeless families in our parish. The stark truth is that over 1,000 children in St. Tammany are homeless each day. I’ve witnessed first hand how Family REACH Alliance provides shelter, services, and compassionate support to help
Stacey Rase
For those who embrace the opportunity, Family REACH Alliance offers the hope of a bright future. The mission goes beyond temporary assistance. Family Promise is about bringing the support system and resources that can lead to positive and permanent life changes for families with children.
David Doss
I chose Family REACH Alliance because I wanted to serve a cause that makes a real impact on the community.

The organization provides opportunities for advocacy, accountability and success for each family.

Family REACH Alliance provides individuals and congregations with opportunities to volunteer to serve those who are most vulnerable in meaningful ways. This service develops into a supportive community relationship that exists long after graduation.

Throughout my time working with the Family REACH Alliance team, I have had the privilege of witnessing the transformative impact your initiatives have on the lives of those in need. The dedication, compassion, and professionalism demonstrated by the entire organization made such a lasting impression that I decided that I needed to be a part of the mission and values of Family REACH Alliance.

After seeing the level of commitment Family REACH Alliance has shown to our community, it became very obvious that this is a genuine organization who does genuinely care for others. It's hard not to want to be a part of an organization like that, especially when you can easily see the positive impact it has, not only on the community, but on the families it serves. Family REACH Alliance is a wonderful and important organization for anyone who wants to make a positive difference in the community to partner with.
David Manning
I’ve been a member of St. Luke Evangelist Church and serve on the Good Sam's Board as their Social Advocate. I attended Family REACH Alliance meetings, and as an extension of my work with Good Sam's, I wanted to serve on the Family REACH Alliance Board.
Gene Bellisario
I've always had a passion to help the homeless, especially those willing to help themselves. All children deserve a stable home environment and I believe that Family REACH Alliance helps children and their families stabilize their situation, save money, create opportunities for fellowship, continue their education, get the help that is needed and provide a new start for the family.
Craig Marinello
As a community partner for nearly 6 years, I have watched Family REACH Alliance help countless families experiencing homelessness. I am honored to play a larger role in the effort to help families obtain a stable and secure home.
