The Interfaith Hospitality Network of Athens (IHN) exists to help families with children in a crisis homeless situation. They do this by employing a social worker that connects services to guests while educating guests about how to build a resume, interview, hold a job, budget...and by partnering with congregations. We are one of those congregations who have agreed to host the IHN families. Our job over the course of one week is to show hospitality...to cook a meal, listen, drive the van...to show up and to care about the families staying in our building.
This is a great opportunity for our congregation to be the presence of Christ right here in Athens! For more information on IHN and how you can be involved, please contact Susan Bolen, bolens@clarke.k12.ga.us or Mary Boswell, wilmabos@charter.net.
Our next host week begins September 18. The volunteer schedule will be available soon.
