Gather a group of approximately 6 - 8 friends, co-workers, or family members to prepare and share dinner for 2-3 evenings with children and their families experiencing homelessness. Bring cooked dinners or provide ready-made meals for approximately 4 adults (add yourselves) and up to 10 children (most under age 8) for each evening. Our hungry families enjoy sitting down with volunteers to share a meal of simple comfort foods. Following dinner and clean-up, volunteers set out lunch materials for families to make their lunches for the next day and then play with families' children.
Through its volunteers, Interfaith Hospitality Network of Greater Cincinnati annually offers more than 200 families and their children meals and overnight sleeping arrangements.

Mission Statement
The mission of Found House Interfaith Housing Network is to provide homeless families and their pets emergency shelter and hospitality through interfaith communities and to work with these families to find and retain stable housing.
Description
Found House 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, temples, 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. Bus transports families back and forth between the congregations and the Day Center. The Day Center in Walnut Hills 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.
