I-HELP PROGRAM

I-HELP (Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program) help the people living on the street.

I-HELP offers safe housing, meals, and connections to community services to homeless people in Tempe. The program is administered by Tempe Community Action Agency (a private, non-profit, charity). There are now seventeen Tempe Faith communities involved with I-HELP. Some of the congregations host the program in their buildings, some supply the meals, some do both.

Tempe Quakers provide evening meals the first Friday of each month at University Presbyterian Church, 139 E. Alameda Drive, Tempe. We generally start preparing food about 5 PM.

If you have an interest in our efforts we invite you to “come and see.”  Contact Ruth Kearns, Tempe Quakers at 480-831-3351 or rskearnsnospam@gmail.com (remove the nospam from the address).
