2018 Celebration of Excellence Gala
Honoring our Hometown Heroes
 
October was a show-stopping month of service and giving! Thanks to our community, Interfaith was able to honor our 2018 Hometown Heroes, all while raising vital funds for local families in need. A very special thank you to our generous supporters, including Presenting Sponsor Woodforest National Bank. We raised $750,000. All proceeds go straight back into serving families in need in South Montgomery county.

When you think of GIVING this holiday season, think of Interfaith! Over the next 2 months, an expected 6,000 men, women and children will ask Interfaith for help. Interfaith's Holiday programs provide gifts, toys and traditional holiday meal foods, perishables, toiletries and paper goods to our neighbors living in South Montgomery County. Interfaith Food Pantry is self-sustaining thanks to the generosity of our community food drives and purchases from local grocery stores.

When you give to Interfaith, you are giving to families and Seniors in OUR community. Help us serve our local neighbors in crisis. Interfaith is now collecting Holiday food items for Thanksgiving! Additionally, families will receive a gift card for a turkey! To be a donor for our Gift Programs, click the button below.

Thank you to our donors and volunteers!

It was a wonderful month of service in October. Rain or shine, our volunteers, through Interfaith's food pantry Senior Eating Well grocery delivery program, delivered their monthly groceries to Senior Adults. Additionally we are grateful for the many generous donations of food and hygiene products to our Food Pantry.
