WHO WE ARE

We mobilize the interfaith community to build economic opportunity.

Diverse faith and spiritual communities support families and individuals who are striving to achieve stability and economic mobility through a variety of Interfaith Action efforts. We believe that opportunity grows and poverty recedes when people of faith commit themselves to making a difference.

While poverty and disparities threaten our community, we are rich with people in faith and spiritual communities who seek meaningful ways to relieve the effects of poverty and address its root causes.

Together with our interfaith community, Interfaith Action provides critically needed shelter for families, emergency services related to food and clothing, workforce development, and other economic mobility supports. We also seek systemic solutions to poverty through programs focused on high-impact volunteering, learning events that advance understanding of the causes of poverty, and opportunities that bring community members into conversation with civic leaders.

Interfaith Action is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization.
