ABOUT IHN, FOUND HOUSE INTERFAITH HOUSING NETWORK

Found House IHN began on October 26, 1991 as Interfaith Hospitality Network of Greater Cincinnati (IHNGC), with a Day Center, and eight congregations who opened up the doors of their churches and synagogues to homeless families.
 
Since 1991, our network has grown to include over 100 congregational partners, representing people of Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim and Unitarian faiths. Congregations provide overnight shelter and meals for homeless families in our Emergency Shelter program.
 
Found House has also grown and enhanced the services offered over the years to provide wraparound support for the whole family that extends beyond Emergency Shelter.

 

ABOUT HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

 

Inspired by the national Habitat for Humanity movement, a group of local Christians founded the grassroots organization in Cincinnati in 1986. The early Cincinnati Habitat was entirely volunteer run with large involvement from our church and others.  Today, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati is the largest nonprofit homebuilder in the region. Together with homebuyer families, donors like us, and volunteers they have built over 680 high-quality modest homes and completed over 140 critical home repairs for low-income homeowners in our community!

Their mission is seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.

A world where everyone has a decent place to live.

 

ABOUT IPM FOOD PANTRY

Reaching Further. Feeding More.  

Community has been a core value of IPM since its foundation. In 1964, Armstrong Chapel and three local churches joined together to help families living in impoverished conditions along the Little Miami River near Newtown, Ohio. The group realized that they could help more people by working together, so they formed a non-profit organization called Inter Parish Ministry (IPM) with the goal of helping neighbors during difficult times.

IPM Food Pantry feeds families in need and brings community members together to enhance lives throughout the Cincinnati area. IPM continues to transform the definition of a traditional food pantry.  We meet people where they are and treat each family with dignity, helping the entire community thrive.

As decades moved forward, we continue to help IPM expand its ability to impact more of the Cincinnati community!

A Prayer Shawl and Creative Ministry 

Meets every Third Tuesday morning, from 10:30 am -12:00 pm

Everyone is Welcome!

Approximately 100 handmade items were distributed to individuals and non-profits in 2024!

 

We hope you will gather for our regular monthly meeting on the Third Tuesday morning, from 10:30 am -12:00 pm (noon) on location close to the church, contact the office for more information on the location.  Everyone is welcome to enjoy the fellowship that comes from making a small difference in the lives of those who might benefit from a handmade item on their journey to wholeness. We will be working on prayer shawls, lap blankets, stuffed animals, etc.  You do not need to know how to knit, crochet, or sew to participate. There will be many options to help such as creating tags, bagging, and sorting. The fellowship will be as important as the mission work and we hope you will come and be a part of something special! Bring a friend!

We want to extend a huge thank you to the Hands & Hearts Ministry for their incredible work! Their dedication to making Teddy Bears for the families of Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) is truly a blessing. These adorable bears bring comfort and joy to those who need it most, and it's all thanks to the time and effort of the Hands & Hearts Ministry team.

Their selfless act of kindness is a wonderful reminder of God's love and care for us. It's amazing to see how a simple gesture can bring so much happiness to a family in need. We're grateful for this and their commitment to serving others. May their good work continue to inspire and uplift our community!
