Nonprofit
Interfaith Works is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to support our neighbors in need by providing vital services and a pathway to greater stability. Interfaith Works provides emergency shelter, supportive housing, essential needs, and employment programs to over 35,000 residents of Montgomery County, MD, every year. IW was founded in 1972 by local faith communities who saw Montgomery County residents in need and felt collaborative action was the best way to help them. Today, Interfaith Works is not a religious organization, but we maintain our original spirit of striving to provide Montgomery County residents in need with the best possible assistance through our various programs.
