ICS (Interfaith Community Services) News ...

We have good news to share!
Today, (Tuesday April 18th), ICS won the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona's Innovation Award for a Small Organization, for our Health Advocacy program--an award of $5,000 to our agency. The Health Advocacy Program at ICS began three years ago with support from St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. Maricela Reynaert, our Health Coordinator on staff, and over 25 volunteers, visit our clients in their homes, interviewing and educating them about healthcare and community resources.

We offer many thanks to St. Andrew's, our Executive Council and Board of Directors, and many, many volunteers who make this innovative and now award winning program possible.
