Interfaith Action of Greater Saint Paul

The video above, which premiered at Interfaith Action's 2024 "Bringing Faith to Life" Breakfast, ends with a statement of our commitment to serving our neighbors authentically: "we're listening."

This Give to the Max Day, we invite you to join us in listening... 

• To the families served by Faithful Hospitality by walking alongside them as they seek not just asylum, but an opportunity for a new beginning
• To guests of Project Home by supporting them in exploring pathways to housing and hope 
• To indigenous community members as they receive support from Department of Indian Work that honors and is informed by their cultural heritage
• To the call of your faith-inspired values as we engage together in the work of building community and repairing the world.

As we listen to the individuals we have the opportunity to serve--responding to their needs and celebrating their stories--join us in responding by "giving for good" this Give to the Max Day. 

About Interfaith Action of Greater Saint Paul:

OUR VISION
Opportunity grows and poverty recedes when people of faith invest themselves in effective action. 

Your gift supports our programs:

DEPARTMENT OF INDIAN WORK
We provide food and services for American Indian families and educational support for American Indian youth. Last year, our food shelf provided 185,467 pounds of food to 2,457 families and 75 American Indian students received culturally relevant after-school and summer education support. 

PROJECT HOME
Our overnight shelter and day center help families experiencing homelessness stabilize and then build economic mobility. Last year (due to COVID), we moved into Provincial House to provided 19,602 shelter-bed nights for 105 families in a socially distanced setting. With the support of our Rapid Exit Case Worker Team,  34 families moves into permanent, affordable housing.

OPPORTUNITY SAINT PAUL
We match volunteers with highly effect nonprofit partners to provide tutoring and job coaching to build economic mobility.  Last year, volunteers gave 3,830 hours to help build economic mobility for individuals and families. Those same volunteers also attended numerous learning community events to better understand how to make a dent in poverty.

FAITHFUL HOSPITALITY 
Interfaith Action offers services to new asylum seekers with resources to find stability with home, job and health insecurities. Interfaith Action works with houses of worship to offer shelter space and volunteers, drawing on its pre-pandemic experience with Project Home shelters. In addition, Interfaith Action collaborates with community partners to provide supportive legal, housing, and employment services to families in Faithful Hospitality shelters.

We allocate a portion of all donations to core mission support (which includes administrative and development activities). This ensures effective delivery of Interfaith Action's programs and services to those in greatest need.
