For the past four years, Christy and I have put both of our children down to sleep in this crib so many times. Thanks to InterFaith Works, I hope it will continue to provide our New American parents in Syracuse with peace and joy. 🥲

I dropped by Onondaga County Public Libraries’s Soule Branch today to support their partnership with InterFaith Works to make holiday cards for local seniors. There's still time to join this fun and festive way to brighten someone's holidays!

Thank you hueberbreuer for your generous donation which allowed 90 care kits to be made for incoming refugee families. The kits included bathroom, winter, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, cleaning, personal, and baby supplies!

Can you guess which one of us VERY BRAVELY parted ways with a new Frozen Lego castle + several other toys we picked out today to give to a new family just arriving to Syracuse from Afghanistan? Thanks to InterFaith Works…I am regularly brought to tears just being in their offices!

As 2021 comes to an end, we want to thank our many donors of holiday cards that we gave to nursing home residents. Donors from around the nation sent us handmade cards. Thank you to Excellus BCBS , Onondaga County Libraries, and Symphoria for all you gave!
