My name is Matt Wagner, and I am the Executive Director for Family Promise of Harrisburg Capital Region. I love being the Executive Director of Family Promise HCR because we have an amazing staff, board, and volunteers. Also, I believe we offer a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone to change their lives, and I am excited to be a part of that.

I believe that organizations such as Family Promise are the best vehicles for communities to change lives, and really, that’s what it is all about. Family Promise is the vehicle for changing people’s lives. Our supporters are the real heroes. I love getting to work with all of them!

My name is Stacey Coldren, and I am the Assistant Director for Family Promise HCR. I have been dreaming of a position like this with Family Promise for about 5 years now. As a graduate of this very program, I know firsthand how Family Promise helps those in need.

My goal is to help our families feel the same reassurance and support as I did: to bring out the best in them and help them find direction. We are a FAMILY, and family supports family. If you have any questions, or would like to chat about Family Promise, feel free to email me at Stacey@familypromisehcr.org

A Fun Fact about me is that I read over 100 books a year!

Hi! My name is Christine Rockey, and I’m the Case Manager here at Family Promise. I began my career working in homeless services, from helping un-housed families locate and maintain rental housing all of the way through to helping first-time home buyers attain their dreams of home ownership! Helping families achieve their goals is a passion of mine.

In my spare time, I’m an educator, a poet, an artist, and a mom with 3 grown kids and 2 twin grandchildren. When I’m home, I’m surrounded by dogs, books, and family – and a very ornery parrot named ‘Birdasaurus Rex’. My email address is christine@familypromisehcr.org. Reach out to me anytime for information or just to say, “Hi!”

A Fun Fact about me is that I have published three books!

Hi, Family Promise HCR family! I’m Susan Ryder, serving in the position of Community Engagement Associate. I graduated from Messiah University in 2013 with a degree in Communications.

My husband and I recently became empty nesters, with two sons launched, and the third at Penn State. I spend my free time reading, gardening, crocheting, and walking. I look forward to working with you in helping families facing homelessness in the Harrisburg area. Here’s my email, susan@familypromisehcr.org.
