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.

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.

Inter-Faith Caregivers

This program coordinates volunteers who provide transportation for medical appointments, pick up prescription drugs, lend a listening ear, arrange for small safety repairs, and do whatever they can to make life better for the elderly and disabled in our community.

Annual Community Prayer Breakfast.

Bringing the community together to pray for major community issues, this event hosts nationally known speakers who provide insight on themes focused on poverty, hunger, homelessness, children, and other topics relevant to our community.

Sounds of CommUNITY

 Beginning in 1991, this interfaith concert features music and dance from different religious and cultural traditions.
