Faith Communities

Interfaith Human Services (IHS) was founded in 1968 by a handful of faith communities coming together to help our neighbors in need. These communities of faith knew they could accomplish more together and have worked toward the same goal for more than 50 years.

Today, our congregation members volunteer and support IHS through donations, dinners, gospel sing nights, yard sales and our annual Wishing Well Campaign during the holidays.

Our congregations make our work possible.

If your congregation would like to join us and impact the lives of hundreds of families in Centre County, please call us at (814) 234-7731 or email interfaith@ihs-centrecounty.org.
