Interfaith Community Services was the May non-profit organization selected by the Special Projects Division for the San Diego Bergelectric Charitable Foundation Committee. It was a true honor to see the San Diego office and field employees get involved and supported this months charity. Donations came pouring as we received bags of rice, canned meats, and floor lamps that were donated to Interfaith Community Services and those in need.
We had a great time meeting with the staff of Interfaith Community Services. Learning about all the ways that Interfaith services the community and gives back to those in need. A great big thank you goes out to Rob Shover, In-Kind Donation Manager who graciously gave us a tour of the entire facility and shared his personal story with us. Special thanks to Lauren, Communication Coordinator; Chelsea Buck, Director of Development; Bob Adams, Chief Development Officer; and Doug Ferris, Basics Needs Manager for sharing your time with us.
Interfaith Community Services
Headquartered at the Betty and Melvin Cohn Center in Escondido, Interfaith has grown to be the most comprehensive agency in North County, with multiple locations, many open 24 hours a day.
Last year alone, Interfaith empowered over 16,000 individuals to begin a path towards self-sufficiency through one of our programs.
As participation grew, Interfaith evolved into a broad continuum of programs and services that provide the tools and resources people in crisis need to stabilize and rebuild their lives. These programs are organized into five main areas:
- Nutrition and Basic Needs
- Employment
- Self-Sufficiency and Supportive Services
- Behavioral Health and Recovery
- Housing
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.
