The Interfaith Federation of Greater Baton Rouge

What does the Federation do?

"Our mission is to pursue unity, justice and peace through interfaith cooperation"




(To see or download an overview of the Federation's work and ministry click here )

Disaster Response

A campaign is underway to help neighbors and neighborhoods to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Gustav.

Holy Grill

Last year the Federation served over a thousand meals every month.  For many, it is the only nutritious and satisfying meal of the day.

On April 24, 2009 we celebrated the 20th anniversary of Tonia Causey's service as the cook for the Holy Grill. Pictures from the celebration may be viewed by clicking here.

The Holy Grill is served by volunteers from Federation member congregations.

Kids Café 

This after school program, with sites in Scotlandville and Zion City, provides food to hungry children, grades K-12, that might not otherwise receive an evening meal. The children also receive tutoring from volunteer certified teachers.  Approximately 1200 hot, nutritious meals are served every month.

Interfaith Caregivers

This program coordinates volunteers who provide transportation for medical appointments, pick up prescription drugs, lend a listening ear, and arrange for small safety repairs for the elderly and disabled in our community.

Interfaith Dialogue

Ongoing dialogue brings participants together to share and learn about faith, religious diversity, and common values.
