A Letter from Executive Director Becky Wagner


Dear Friends,

For many years, Fred Rogers taught us all—adults and children alike—about life’s biggest choice:

“The real issue in life is not how many blessings we have, but what we do with our blessings. Some people have many blessings and hoard them. Some have few and give everything away.”

In a world where everyone is too busy, Interfaith Works is proud to have more than 7,000 volunteers who offer their time and talents to neighbors in need, and 15,000 supporters who give through monetary donations and in-kind contributions. These supporters come to us from different faith communities, service clubs, corporate and government offices and schools - proving that Interfaith Works. They come to us because they want to express the gratitude for the life they have with the generosity of their time, talent and resources helping others. And, by reaching beyond themselves, they receive something immeasurable – the gift of giving.

You are visiting our Web site because you “get it.” You “get” that we are all neighbors and have the responsibility of offering our hands and hearts to those in need. You “get” that it is our differences - of faith, heritage and means - that enrich our lives and our community, and you embrace this diversity. You know that we are all more alike than different. It is your commitment and willingness to give both service and financial support that makes this work-- interfaith work--possible. Please consider becoming part of this great endeavor, and help make our community a better place.

Thank you,
