Opening Doors, Together
Interfaith Works, we believe in the power of each individual’s unique journey. For more than 50 years, we have helped our neighbors open doors on their pathways to stability.
We do not decide which door our clients walk through. Instead, we and our community partners work with them to find the right door and help them open it.
Which is why we need you.
Your support is essential to making a meaningful impact on the lives of the 35,000 neighbors we serve in Montgomery County each year.
Will you continue to work with us to open doors by providing essential programs that meet the needs of our neighbors and keep our community thriving?
Providing vital services and a pathway to greater stability.
