"Keeping families together.
Getting families home for good."
Rochester Area Interfaith Hospitality Network (RAIHN) is a not-for-profit, interfaith, culturally-competent organization that assists homeless families to achieve sustainable independence by supporting them with tailored services including shelter, food, personalized case management, and a diverse network of caring volunteers.
New Hope Free Methodist Church is partnering with Artisan Church to participate in the RAIHN network. We provide home-cooked meals and a friendly space, for parents and their children who are in housing crisis, to call home while they work on more permanent solutions.
