About GIHN

Through the cooperation of Guilford Interfaith Hospitality Network and volunteers from more than 50 local faith communities, homeless children and their parents receive food & shelter, compassionate care, and professional counseling & case management services to homeless children and their families, up to 28 guests at a time. The faith communities provide all of the food & shelter and much of the compassionate care through their volunteers. GIHN operates the day centers, provides the professional counseling & case management, and coordinates the network of faith communities and volunteers..

GIHN officially formed in October 1997, and the first guests were hosted in October 1999 at Friendly Avenue Church of Christ in Greensboro. The High Point rotation followed suit in 2001.
