Interfaith Housing Coalition was founded in 1985 by two churches to provide transitional housing and support services to homeless families. The Interfaith Housing program has evolved to provide a holistic approach which addresses the root issues of generational poverty and homelessness helping families transform their lives through systemic, enduring change. Interfaith provides housing, food and clothing to homeless families, as well as, guidance in employment, budgeting and life skills. 

Volunteer opportunities: 

Employment Mentors: Working in teams of two volunteers, meet weekly with residents, building a relationship and advising them in securing and retaining employment, interview skills, and "soft" employment skills. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday evenings from 7-9pm.
