Dear friends, 

You already know that Interfaith families have hopes and dreams, are hardworking and nurture their kids just like you do. But what you may not know is their journey is often wrought with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. 

Together, with your care and help, our neighbors discover their strength and a resilience so powerful they can overcome the worst of times. 

Staff member Wendy Geving, program participant Nicole Mayo and executive director LaDonna Hoy


Nicole and her daughter are one of those families. Nicole moved to Plymouth 10 years ago when her daughter was 7 years old to be closer to her faith community. She was working full time but barely making it financially. And then she happened upon Interfaith Outreach.

Read the full story to discover one family's victory over obstacles that once seemed insurmountable.  Thanks to each and every one of your compassionate hearts for making this possible.
