AGENCY INFORMATION (Be Very Brief and Concise) <br /> Please provide the following information about your agency (2 pages OR LESS): <br /> a) Years in Operation, Date of Incorporation (Month/Year): Since 1963 (53 years) <br /> b) Agency's Purpose/Mission (no more than a few sentences): <br /> The Inter-Faith Council for Social Service meets basic needs and helps individuals <br /> and families achieve their goals. We provide shelter, food, direct services, advocacy <br /> and information to people in need. We accomplish this through strong partnerships <br /> with volunteers, staff and those we serve. We rely on the active involvement of <br /> caring individuals, congregations and other community organizations. <br /> c) Types of Services the Agency Provides (bullet format): <br /> • Homeless shelters <br /> • Community Kitchen <br /> • Food Pantry <br /> • Crisis Intervention <br /> • Support Circles <br /> • Robert Nixon Clinic <br /> d) Agency's History with Providing These Services: <br /> IFC was founded in 1963 to address the significant gaps that existed in the social safety net of <br /> our community. Seven local church women created the IFC "to discover unmet needs and to <br /> respond through the coordinated efforts of volunteers." With no paid staff or office space, IFC <br /> began providing crisis intervention assistance to people in dire need. Today it is a not-for-profit <br /> non-denominational social service organization with a small staff providing basic services to <br /> combat poverty, hunger and homelessness in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. IFC is the principal <br /> agency in Orange County for mobilizing our community to address homelessness, hunger, and <br /> economic disparity. <br /> e) Other Pertinent Agency Information (Ex. Has the agency experienced any major changes <br /> in the past year? Is there a new Executive Director?Are there new initiatives?) <br /> We have hired moss+ross to conduct the search for our next executive director. We have now <br /> narrowed it down to two finalists and expect to have the new director on board by April. <br /> IFC plans to consolidate the Community Kitchen and Food Pantry into a food operations center <br /> called FoodFirst. Having a combined program in one location will maximize food, space, staff <br /> and volunteer resources and offer a more efficient and effective way to feed the hungry in our <br /> community. <br /> Agency Information 1/31/2017 11:43:55 AM Pago of 35 <br />
