Interfaith Works is hosting A Harmony of Hearts: Night of Shared Purpose—a benefit concert that brings together performers from faith and non-faith communities for a night of music, celebration, and giving.

The concert will include performances from Gospel Recording Artist Angel Griggs-Spann, Gospel Rap Artist of the Year (2025) Indian Will God's Arrow, Michael Alonzo Fraizer, Kristijonas Donelaitis Lithuanian Saturday School, and representatives from Hindu, Sikh, Buddhists and Christian faith groups participating in our program.

Our goal is to raise $5,000 to address urgent needs in our community:

Meals for Neighbors in Shelter: Every day, Interfaith Works shelters and Shared Supportive Housing homes provide three meals for nearly 300 people. While volunteers help fill many of these needs, meal gaps still exist. Part of the funds raised will help ensure that all our program residents have nourishing food.
Holiday Magic for Families: Last year, through our Magical Holiday Campaign, we distributed 500 gift bags filled with clothing, household items, and toys to families and individuals we serve. Your gift ensures families experiencing hardship can celebrate the holidays with comfort and joy.

How You Can Help:

Attend the Concert: Celebrate with us and be inspired by music that unites hearts across different traditions. This is a free event, but an RSVP is required so we can plan for all attendees. We will be accepting donations of shelf-stable food at the concert.
Make a Gift: Every dollar moves us closer to our $5,000 goal.

With your support, we can bridge daily meal gaps in our shelters and houses and provide holiday gift bags for neighbors who would otherwise go without.

Interfaith Works (IW) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides emergency shelter, supportive housing, essential needs, and employment programs to over 35,000 residents of Montgomery County, MD, every year.

Our mission: Supporting our neighbors in need by providing vital services and a pathway to greater stability.
