Financial

It takes money to pay for construction materials, contractors, and development costs associated with building and rehabilitating homes in Bucks County.  Likewise, money pays to help find volunteers who can make strong commitments in support of the needy.  Money also pays for the services provided directly to our clients such as mortgage and budget counseling and free furniture distribution.  The hope of owning a home comes only as a result of your generosity and the generosity of others.  That's why we invite you to become a Sustaining Member of Interfaith Housing.  Your tax-deductible gift will help continue our work for years to come.  Your gift does make a difference!

Furniture and Housewares

Interfaith Housing maintains a warehouse of used furniture and household items to help our tenants get a start in their new homes.  We accept the following items in good condition.  You may drop these items off at the IHDC office during business hours or contact Stephanie Sikora at 215-945-8630 x105 to have a volunteer pick them up from your home.  All donations are tax deductible per Internal Revenue Service guidelines.
