24 Jan Thanking the Congregations of the Network

Posted at 13:00h in Congregation Spotlight by

Looking back on 2022, we’ve been thinking, with gratitude, about all the ways the community supports our programs. And there’s no better example than the religious congregations that make up the Interfaith Hospitality Network, which has been providing emergency shelter to families in need since 1989. Host congregations open their buildings to our families for a month at a time; volunteers from these hosts and helper (or “buddy”) congregations provide meals and transportation to and from our Day Center in Ambler.

Managing all of this activity is no simple task and we are incredibly grateful to the coordinators from each congregation who make it look easy, and to the many volunteers who give their time to ensure that the families in our shelter are supported as they make a housing plan and take steps toward self-sufficiency. Thank you to the congregations that participated in the Interfaith Hospitality Network in 2022:
