VolunteerMatch

The mission of Interfaith Hospitality Network of Greater Cincinnati is to provide homeless families emergency shelter and hospitality through interfaith communities and to work with these families to find and retain stable housing.

IHN is a Unique Response to Homelessness, combining volunteers from the religious community with full-time professionals to reintegrate families into the community. * Host Congregations are area churches and synagogues that provide three meals a day, private sleeping space, and volunteers to create a "home away from home" for the families. * Support Congregations assist the Host Congregations by providing donated meals and volunteers. * Case Manager helps families find and maintain permanent housing. * Day Vans transport families to appointments, interviews, and day care. * Bus transports families back and forth between the congregations and the Day Center * Day Center in Lower Price Hill serves as a home base providing adult education classes, a kitchen, laundry facilities, showers, free telephones, a mailing address, computer facilities, and a children's playroom. * School-age children attend school and receive after-school tutoring through Project Connect.
