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:

The sixth annual Walk for Warmth kicks off on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, January 20, at 11 a.m. at First United Methodist Church, 516 Clark St. As Interfaith Action of Evanston’s largest fundraiser, this family friendly event funds the Overnight Shelter, which provides life-saving warmth from mid-October through mid-May, to those without homes.
