It is a myth that rich counties don't have poor people - and being poor in an affluent community can be particularly challenging. Montgomery County, MD is home to 50,000 people who live below the Federal Poverty Level, and in this region especially, the high cost of living forces thousands of hard-working families to struggle to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads.
Interfaith Works provides a broad array of social services and advocacy programs. These programs provide direct assistance to the disadvantaged populations of Montgomery County, including the homeless, low-income adults, families and immigrants, as well as those suffering from acute or chronic poverty, those with physical or mental disabilities and others for whom economic and social realities prevent full and productive functioning in the community.
Our programs include:
- Homeless Services
-
Housing
-
Family Services
-
Congregation & Community Support
-
Education & Advocacy
