Family Promise of Las Vegas Las Vegas, NVAfter 25 years without a building of their own, family promise is building one. Family promise started in our historic home 25 years ago. When we decided to build them a building next door in the year 2000, they graciously gave us $50,000 they received from stations casinos. Unfortunately, in just 2 years, they were asked to vacate our building due to zoning issues. Now that they are building their home/office, our board decided to pay them back for the gift they gave us but were only able to use for two years.$35,000
