Founded in 1947, Interfaith Social Services is dedicated to improving life for South Shore families and individuals in need. Our unique approach relies on a team of volunteers, donors and community partners to deliver compassionate, client-centered programs focused on hunger, mental health and homelessness prevention.

These are some of our Corporate Partnership Opportunities:

Food Pantry Volunteer Group: We welcome groups of a max of 7 people to volunteer in our food pantry. The shifts run daily, Mon.–Fri., 9:30am –12:30pm. You and your team will work with veteran volunteers to fill grocery orders, unload the food rescue truck, sort donations and re-stock shelves in the food pantry.
Skills required: Great customer service and communication skills; ability to stand, walk, bend and lift; and the ability to uphold our standards of client confidentiality.
Contact: Director of Development Paula Daniels at pdaniels@interfaithsocialservices.org to schedule your group.

Personal Care, Diapers or Feminine Hygiene Drives: Our clients are in need of personal care products, (such as toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, etc.), diapers and pads and tampons. However, we typically do not have these items on hand. Organize a Personal Care Product Drive and assemble kits for us to give out with the grocery orders in our food pantry. We serve approximately 1,200 clients per month.

Backpack Drive: Interfaith distributes backpacks loaded with supplies to the school-age children of our clients each August. Your group can collect these supplies and assemble the packs, delivering them to us by the last week of July. For a list of specific school supplies, please visit our Backpacks page or email Leslie Wittmann at leslie@interfaithsocialservices.org. We distribute about 850 backpacks each August.

Halloween Costume Drive: Each fall, we collect new costumes and let the children of our clients come “shop” for a Halloween costume. You can help by running a Costume Drive. Collect new costumes for children in need (infant to age 12) and deliver them to us by the first week of October. Contact Leslie Wittmann at leslie@interfaithsocialservices.org or check out our Halloween Costume Drive page for more info.

Help for the Holidays: In December, we distribute more than 5,000 holiday gifts to the children of our food pantry clients. Local businesses and organizations can assist by either sponsoring client families or running a Toy Drive (new, unwrapped toys for children ages newborn – 12). Check out our Help for the Holidays page or contact Leslie Wittmann at leslie@interfaithsocialservices.org if you would like to sponsor a family or organize a toy drive.

Stop the Stigma 5K: Each Spring, we host a run/walk in support of our New Directions mental health counseling center. We invite groups to assemble teams to participate in the race. Sponsorships are also available. Contact race director Paula Daniels at pdaniels@interfaithsocialservices.org for more info.

Feed the Hungry Gala: Each December, we host a gala, which is the most important night of the year for our organization, accounting for a significant amount of our annual funding. This fun night of fundraising includes popular local chefs whipping up delectable dishes, wine and beer tastings, fun games with amazing prizes up for grabs, live entertainment and an incredible selection of auction packages. Sponsorships and tickets are available. Email Paula Daniels at pdaniels@interfaithsocialservices.org for more info and stay tuned to our website for updates.
