What if one ham and cheese sandwich could spark a national movement? That’s exactly what happened when a simple act of kindness toward a woman named Millie, who was experiencing homelessness in New York City, ignited a life-changing mission. In this inspiring episode, we dive into the story behind Family Promise—a grassroots movement that began with compassion and grew into a nationwide network transforming lives.

Created 38 years ago, Family Promise now empowers over 200,000 volunteers and has served more than 1 million men, women, and children—offering not just shelter, but dignity, stability, and hope. What began as one moment of connection is now a powerful reminder that one person’s vision truly can change the world.

If you’ve ever wondered how empathy becomes action—and how action becomes a legacy—this episode will move you.
