 Ways you can help
IHN
Interfaith Hospitality Network
of the South Hills offers many ways for individuals, groups and
congregations to participate in this hands-on mission. Some of these
include:
- Volunteers -- The
Network is staffed by volunteers from the Host and Support
Congregations, along with individuals and community groups.
- Warehouse Workers --
Volunteers move furniture for guests and pick up donated items.
- Host Congregations
-- Host Congregations offer their buildings and their members to
shelter and support the Network guests. Additional congregations are
encouraged and welcome to join us as Host Congregations.
- Support Congregations
-- Support Congregations offer volunteers, finances, and supplies.
- Family Center Support --
Volunteers are needed to staff the Family Center on weekends.
- Handyman Skills --
The Family Center is a large two-story building built in the late
1800's. The facility requires regular maintenance and periodic
updates. There are many opportunities for those who are handy with
tools and skilled in the areas of carpentry, electrical, and
painting.

“Being
able to see that a family has a place to sleep, that children are fed .
. . or just to be able to lend a smile and a friendly chat. When we are
able to assist even one person, we are doing God’s will, no matter
what our faith."

Family Center prior to the January 2002 move. New sign in front.

While
accepting the Philadelphia Liberty Medal on July 4, 2002 Secretary of
State Colin Powell asked Americans to devote more time to public
service...
"Everybody can make the time to serve on a school board, volunteer
at a local shelter, mentor a kid who needs someone to care."

The kitchen was totally remodeled
using volunteer labor and donated kitchen cabinets.

“The
families I have met have touched my life in ways that are difficult for
me to express. Perhaps it is as simple as ‘love one another.’
Working with the families in IHN has helped me to grow as a Christian
and hopefully has helped me become more understanding of others."
