- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Gather a group of co-workers, classmates, members of a religious/community group, or friends and family to plan fun evening activities every night for 1 week (7 - 9 PM, Sunday to Saturday). Activities are up to you, but some ideas are crafts, coloring, sidewalk chalking, holiday cards, pick-up basketball, dancing, etc. for children and teens.
Volunteers also set out lunch materials (to be provided) each evening for families to pack lunches. IHN has a limited paid staff, and volunteer groups making this one-week commitment enable us to keep our programs running.

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.
