Faith and Community Partnerships

The IW Faith & Community Partnerships Program (FCP) aims to support IW’s mission through deepening and facilitating connections with local faith-based organizations and faith homes.

FCP works to increase community engagement with all Interfaith Works programs through volunteerism, advocacy, and financial or in-kind giving. 

About FCP

By spearheading IW’s volunteering program, FCP helps to feed thousands of residents in the IW shelter and housing system, provides activities in all of our shelters, and keeps the Essential Needs Center humming with volunteers and donations. 

We need your help! We are looking for volunteers to provide healthy prepared meals to our shelters and supportive housing locations.

Interfaith Works manages the Emergency Assistance Coalition (EAC), a county-wide network of providers that educates, advocates, and delivers a coordinated system of safety net services. The EAC includes nonprofit, public and human service agencies, faith-based organizations, grassroots local assistance groups, educators, and community organizers. IW provides a platform for EAC agencies to convene and share information, best practices, and resources to strengthen their capacity to meet critical needs.
