Interfaith Action of Evanston: Serving People Who Are Hungry or Homeless

Inspired by diverse faiths and shared values, Interfaith Action of Evanston brings people together to serve hungry and homeless people, pursue interfaith dialogue, and engage in advocacy that promotes social justice for those we serve.

Sixth Annual Walk for Warmth:

Hundreds of people showed up on a bitterly cold day to celebrate the sixth annual Walk for Warmth. They heard a trio of speakers champion dignity, justice and concern for all before walking around the block surrounding First United Methodist Church. As Interfaith Action of Evanston’s largest fundraiser, this event funds the Overnight Shelter, which provides life-saving warmth from mid-October through mid-May, to those without homes. To learn more about the Walk for Warmth or donate, see the news item below.
