Helping PeopleHelp Themselves

20132014Annual Report

BACKGROUND

Interfaith Community Services, founded in 1979, is

a 501(c)3 not-for-profit community organization.

Our name – Interfaith – is in honor of our founders,

twelve representatives from diverse faith traditions,

who collaborated to address the growing needs of the

community related to poverty, homelessness, veteran

needs and other human suffering in San Diego’s North

County.

Since then, a multitude of individuals, families,

foundations, corporations and service organizations

have joined the various faith communities to serve our

clients through volunteer commitments and private

charitable support with the mission of Helping People Help

Themselves.

IT IS OUR HONOR

Thank you for your support of Interfaith. It is our honor to serve this organization

as the Chair of the Board of Directors and as Executive Director. No matter how

you interact with us, your involvement is very important to our work. We deeply

and humbly value the many individuals, families, employees, faith centers,

volunteers, donors, service partners and community members who support us.

Our goal is to have a continued engagement in all areas of our

operation.

It is a new era for Interfaith. Our challenge now is to bring our

past successes into line with the new needs of the community

to have a true impact on the lives of the clients we serve. To

accomplish this goal we need to all work together toward the

common goal of Helping People Help Themselves.

INTERFAITH COMMUNITY SERVICES

Interfaith Community Services begins at

the most basic level – as an emergency

food program. Since its founding, the

organization has grown into the most

comprehensive social service agency in

North County. Today, Interfaith provides

services for the homeless, veterans,

unemployed, persons with disabilities,

and low income community members.

Headquartered at the Betty and Melvin

Cohn Center in Escondido, Interfaith has

locations throughout the region, many

open 24 hours a day.

NUTRITION AND BASIC NEEDS

Food insecurity is often the reason people visit Interfaith for the

first time. At the Margaret R. Freund Family Nutrition Center, our

comprehensive Nutrition and Basic Needs program provides hot

meals and sack lunches to hungry adults and children seven days

a week, as well as emergency food supplies at Julia’s Pantry and the

Coastal Service Center. Clients can also use our facilities to also

access telephones, computers, mail, showers, and laundry.

SOCIAL SERVICES

Building on our successful Nutrition and Basic Needs program,

our Social Services program’s mission is to assess individual needs

and case manage each client through their unique challenges by

charting a course toward independence and self-sufficiency. Our

Social Services program includes crisis intervention, supportive

counseling, employment assistance, educational services, financial

management, legal aid, homeless court, transportation assistance,

rent and utilities subsidies, clothing vouchers, as well as shelter and

housing referrals.

Programs & Services

HOUSING AND SHELTERS

The goal of our Housing and Shelters

program is to serve homeless

individuals who are facing a multitude

of personal challenges and dilemmas.

The program provides services for

homeless adults and children, seniors,

veterans and people with mental illness.

Housing and shelters across North

County such as Merle’s Place, Haven

House, Raymond’s Refuge, Tikkun

House, Corrinne’s Cottage and the

Lois Wick Clausen House for Women,

among others, offer specialized

emergency, transitional and long-term

living situations. At each location,

case management and specialized

support programs continue to assist

each resident with the goal of returning

to self-sufficiency. Through these

programs 450 homeless individuals

slept under an Interfaith roof each night

last year.

VETERANS ASSISTANCE OF SAN DIEGO

San Diego County is home to the

largest population of Operation Iraqi

Freedom and Operation Enduring

Freedom veterans in the United States.

Our extensive Veterans Services

program provides specialized services

to support veterans through their many

challenges.

With two locations – the Coastal

Veterans Center, based at the Veterans

Association of North County building

in Oceanside, and the Betty and

Melvin Cohn Center in Escondido

– staff works closely with hundreds

of veterans to assess their individual

needs and provide a variety of services.

Our support includes intensive crisis

management, case management,

supportive counseling, vocational and

educational services , legal assistance,

homeless court, transportation

assistance and housing.

Homeless veterans who have

physical and mental health needs

upon discharge from the Veterans

Administration hospital are provided

with specialized recuperative health

care and housing.

CHILDREN AND YOUTH SERVICES

Our Transitional Youth Academy supports at-risk

high school students by providing intensive

mentoring, leadership training and vocational

training. Based at Oceanside High School, the

program empowers students to improve attendance,

grade point average, as well as to graduate and

successfully transition to college and careers.

The program’s complementary vocational training

elements – Working Pirates and Teens Teaching Tech

– provide training and paid part-time employment for

the students. In October 2014, the Transitional Youth

Academy will be replicated at Oceanside School

District’s El Camino High School.

Thousands of children of all ages are served by our

nutrition, basic needs, social services, and housing

programs. Through these programs we provide

children with a safe and nurturing environment while

their family is undergoing challenges, laying the

pathway to a positive future for generations to come.

EMPLOYMENT SERVICES

We place a great value on assisting the unemployed and

underemployed in our community as income is vital to

achieving self-sufficiency. Our Employment Services

program provides vocational case management to serve

the employment needs of the non-veteran along with

specialized services for veterans.

Clearly Clean Janitorial is a work training program for

individuals with mental health illness and barriers to

employment. North County Labor Connection, now

expanded to coastal North County, offers a safe and

neutral location where laborers connect with employers

for daily temporary or permanent job placement.

Each employment program focuses on the unique needs

of the clients while providing vocational management

to match employment opportunities. Within the Job

Academy, basic skills of job readiness, résumé writing,

computer applications, interview etiquette, and skills are

taught. This is supported by the Employment Computer

Laboratories in Escondido and Oceanside.

ENGAGEMENT: GIVING AND VOLUNTEERING

Charitable donations have an immediate impact on the people

we serve. Every day, your charitable gifts fund the area of greatest

need – or fund an area of special interest to you — enabling our

programs to administer vital services to people in need. Charitable

gifts can include cash, checks, credit cards, stock, IRAs, along with

various types of estate giving.

Making donations of food, hygiene items and new or very lightly used

furniture and household items is also a way to serve our clients.

Volunteering as an individual or with a group at an Interfaith location

is also a wonderful way to serve our clients and community. We want

each volunteer experience to be worthwhile and enjoyable. Our

Volunteer Services Department offers a variety of opportunities in

both direct services to our clients and other support activities.

Last year, clients we serve were supported by the volunteer

community involvement and generosity including:

• $2,737,999 was donated in private charitable gifts by

2,765 individuals, families, foundations, businesses, faith

communities, and organizations

• 995 additional donors of food and other in-kind supplies and

equipment valued at $1,247,067

• 452 regularly scheduled volunteers served 37,857 hours as an

integral part of programs

To benefit Interfaith, thousands of individual and group volunteers

led and participated in food and hygiene supply drives, special

events, housing revitalizations, and minor home repairs.

MISSION OF COMMUNITY COLLABORATION

Interfaith Community Services is a vital social service agency

that is effective in addressing a myriad of client needs in San

Diego’s North County. In doing so, we closely communicate

and collaborate with our member faith communities, not-for-

profit partners, government agencies, volunteers, and private

charitable funders.

For example, Interfaith’s Veterans Assistance of San Diego

recently expanded its partnership with the Veterans

Association of North County by joining together to provide a

comprehensive veterans service center in Oceanside. Similarly,

our collaboration with the Alliance for Regional Solutions

allows us to effectively and efficiently provide shelter to

homeless North County residents during the coldest winter

months and address other regional challenges.

Together, we can more successfully identify and address the

greater community need and provide programs that add value

to our service quality while removing duplication. It is this team

approach, utilizing the expertise of each partner, which forms

an effective network that deeply impacts the lives of others.
