Leadership
Our community is made up of many people from a variety of beliefs and backgrounds with one common goal: Make change possible.
A Common Background
Since our organization’s formation in 1979, Interfaith Community Services has stood for inclusion. We began as a movement dedicated to bringing people together and providing compassion for people in crisis, no matter the circumstances. Each day since, our community continues to grow in its diversity and scope of support.
“At its core, our community members are people that take the steps to be a part of the solution.”
Mission
Interfaith Community Services empowers people in need to stabilize and improve their lives through comprehensive programs, in partnership with diverse faith communities and people of compassion.
