Interfaith Hospitality Network - IHN

**IHN's First Annual Zoo Walk** will be Saturday, August 28th at 8:00 a.m.

The mission of the IHN is to provide compassionate care to homeless families, alleviate the trauma of homelessness and assist families in securing a stable home. This mission is accomplished by providing a caring, dignified environment of overnight hospitality in a church or synagogue facility, and providing supportive services to help families become self-sufficient.

IHN Guests are sheltered and cared for each evening by congregational volunteers. Guests stay for a week at a time at rotating host congregations, arriving at 5:30 p.m. each evening and leaving at 7:00 a.m. each morning.

Disciples Christian Church partners with Heights Christian Church during the week Heights hosts IHN Guests at their facility. We serve home-cooked dinners and spend time with Guests simply hanging out, helping with homework, playing games, etc. from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. two evenings during the week they have Guests - twice each year.

Each volunteer who plans to spend time with Guests is asked to view a 30-minute video explaining the program. Viewing times will be arranged by our Outreach Ministry Team.
