About Us
Based in New York, Interfaith Community Services currently maintains a program of distributing hot, vegetarian meals to homeless people on the streets of the Lower East Side of Manhattan in Tompkins Square Park every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9:30 a.m.
Although the external form of our work may vary - from literature distribution to feeding the homeless, the purpose of all our endeavors is to inspire others in their faith and in their loving service to God.
For the past 25 years, we have been maintaining the food distribution program without missing a single serve-out. We served through 911, the Blackout, hurricane Sandy, and COVID by God’s Grace.
We are operating under the promise that anyone who volunteers to help will naturally learn and grow. The concept of directly engaging in service to God is absolutely essential for spiritual character development.
The magic starts in the kitchen where we prepare all our meals with love. Come see how our outreach program begins from preparing fresh ingredients to serving them. Interested volunteers are encouraged to sign up and meet us here at 8:45am every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
We are located at 124 E 4th St. New York, NY 10003
