2022 SAVE Summer Initiative

Each summer, Interfaith Family Services provides safe, free programming to help over 50 homeless and low-income children to defeat summer learning loss and have a summer to remember. While mom or dad works and trains to achieve greater financial stability, children at Interfaith will socialize with each other after a long year of social-distancing, obtain tutoring to ensure academic advancement, volunteer to help make the world a better place, and explore a variety of on-site and off-site camps.

This year, we ask that you help support one child’s summer experience at Interfaith. Our goal is to raise $40,000 to cover the costs of each of our Interfaith children’s summer experiences.
