Through a partnership with Toys for Tots children up to age 14 receive a gift, and the Teen 2 Teen program provides gifts for older children.
Inter-Faith Ministries (IFM) aids homeless and marginalized persons in our community by fulfilling basic human needs, shelter, food, and moral support. It provides a safe place to stay and access to community services that will enable them to become self-sufficient or find the resolve to try.
Every year Inter-Faith Ministries serves thousands of people in need of food and shelter. IFM offers encouragement, guidance, reinforcement and most importantly hope for tomorrow. Hope is the inspiration that we all need. Many of the people we serve have lost hope in the face of unemployment, medical problems, poverty, and eviction.
Community partners, volunteers, friends, and donors enable IFM to help people back on their feet. It is through one another that we help others help themselves.
