Funds raised help break poverty cycle

More than 300 people attended the 8th Annual Interfaith Auxiliary Luncheon benefiting Interfaith Family Services, whose mission is to empower families in crisis to break the cycle of poverty. The sold-out event with the theme of Blossoms and New Beginnings was held on Friday, April 28 at the Dallas Arboretum and raised $254,825 from generous sponsors and attendees moved by the powerful stories of transformation. Interfaith’s approach is proven — nine out of 10 clients exit with permanent housing, and four out of five exit employed with a livable wage and are still employed a year later. For 38 years, Interfaith Family Services has empowered families in crisis to break the cycle of poverty. The organization offers solutions to poverty through both residential and non-residential services. Their Family Empowerment Center houses all programming modeled to eliminate the barriers that keep families in crisis from achieving stability.
