1st Place – Interfaith Community Services

The mission of Interfaith Community Services (Interfaith) is to empower people in need to stabilize and improve their lives through comprehensive programs, in partnership with diverse faith communities and people of compassion. Founded in 1979 as a direct response to rising rates of hunger and homelessness in North San Diego County, Interfaith works to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness. Building on more than 40 years of empowering homeless and low-income community members, Interfaith has become the most comprehensive social services agency in North County, providing both immediate safety net services and long-term, life-changing services for the most poor and vulnerable residents.
