History
Interfaith began with a concerned group of people consisting of clergy, social service agency directors and other interested
persons who formed the Interfaith Council, a non-profit charitable organization.
This effort originated in February, 1982, when a Church Women United Committee was appointed to investigate ways to meet
the needs of the increasing number of people requiring emergency food and shelter. It was apparent that many were falling
through the cracks of the existing system for emergency need.
Casper ministers, social service agency directors and interested persons met in a workshop sponsored by Church Women
United. Many different approaches to the problem were considered. It was decided to concentrate efforts on a central
clearing house and transitional housing for families. Interfaith began serving persons needing basic needs emergency
assistance in October, 1984. The first family went into transitional housing in November, 1984.
Interfaith has evolved into an organization whose primary focus is homelessness prevention through a broad range of
emergency services and a case management program that promotes self-sufficiency.
