Video: Introduction to the Inter-Faith Hospitality Network
We invite you to view An Introduction to the Inter-Faith Hospitality Network, a newly produced video for Affiliates and their participating congregations. It was created as a tool for our Affiliates nationwide to recruit new congregations and volunteers to join the IHN program. We think you will agree it offers an inspiring glimpse at how great a difference our volunteers are making for families in need.
