Interfaith Works

Our staff from the IW Essential Needs Center had a jam packed weekend! It started with Recycle Day at Westfield Montgomery with WUSA9 where we received many donations of car seats, strollers, gently used clothing and home goods. Then we attended the Voces Importantes Graduation with the Hispanic Community Liasion for the Montgomery County Police Department where woman who have experienced domestic violence were able to have workshops and have their celebration called Sombreros de Fortaleza! Lastly, the ENC hosted a volunteer breakfast here for disability awareness month! We are so grateful to everyone in the community that supports our clients, and for opportunities to support our partners in the county! We look forward to more opportunities to celebrate and come together!

After our time at Project Community Connect, our friends at the United Way of the National Capital Area kindly donated hundreds of pairs of news socks and dozens of cold weather, toiletry, feminine hygiene, and snack kits for our clients in our shelters! Thank you for your support! #thankfulthursday #neighborshelpingneighbors

Hip Hop for the Homeless was brought to us by DJ Mo who is both a DJ and a comedian. He volunteered his time and talent to provide a fun Saturday afternoon for our clients and staff at the New Lead Shelter. We cooked out, played field game, had a lot of photo ops, played guess that tune, line danced and just enjoyed good food and great weather. Food was provided by the most generous New Leaf donors, Pastor Betty and the Overcomers Outreach Ministry, Queen B catering, and Kenya’s Ja’Kitchen (sponsored by BreadCoin). Thank you to everyone who made this event so special!

We are very excited to be participating in this event on Saturday. Will we see you there?

Our IW Essential Needs Center Staff joined the #wearpinkday representation day! We love seeing our staff come together to support our community!! #breastcancerawarenessmonth

Staff members at our Rollins Ave. office came together for a #wearpinkforbreastcancer day! We know so many of our community members have been impacted by breast cancer. IW recognizes the importance of having equitable healthcare access for all our neighbors so everyone has the chance to prevent and treat this disease before it’s too late. This month and every month we recognize and honor all cancer survivors and remember those who have gone before us. #breastcancerawarenessmonth

Today, we celebrate and honor all Indigenous Peoples and their communities. We recognize their significant impact on our society and the great suffering they have endured throughout our nation's history. We especially honor the numerous Native American tribes that call Maryland home, including the Accohannock Indian Tribe, the Assateague Peoples Tribe, the Nause-Waiwash Band of Indians, the Piscataway Conoy Tribes, the Piscataway Conoy Confederacy and the Cedarville Band of Piscataway Indians, the Pocomoke Indian Nation, and the Youghiogheny River Band of Shawnee Indians. May we forever recognize and celebrate these great communities' impact, resilience and culture.
