Local

Here are a few of our many local missions:

Interfaith Hospitality Network

Interfaith Hospitality Network of Billings is a community response for homeless families. Through a unique partnership with diversie commnities of faith, IHN provides emergency shelter, meals and supportive services to families experiencing homelessness in the Billings area.

IHN operates under the model of "hospitality." Volunteers are the program's "hosts" and the families staying in the Network are our "guests." IHN meets the guests' basic human needs with a spirit of warmth and compassion. Congregations provide home-like accommodations meals, and hospitality for up to fifteen people on a rotating basis. Families spend their day at IHN, and every evening they are transported to the host congregation. We do this project on a rotation basis every ten weeks.
