Happy Birthday to our founding Executive Director

In 1974, Interfaith's first program was created when Reverend Don Gebert visited and interviewed families living in The Woodlands. Today, over 55,000 directories are distributed to area residents each August. Rev. Gebert turned 89 in June, and Interfaith is proud to have been pioneered by this great man. We thank Rev. Gebert for building the foundation that we now call Interfaith!

VBS Students create cards for Seniors

Lucy Gomez, VP of Programs, spoke to the VBS children at The Woodlands First Baptist as they prepared to make 500 greeting cards for senior adults in our area. These children opened their hearts to brighten a senior's day, writing to each one with the same love as if writing to their own grandparents.
