Join us for this year’s Bringing Faith to Life Breakfast🏠💛

Volunteers, donors, interfaith and community leaders gather each fall for Interfaith Action of Greater Saint Paul’s annual Bringing Faith to Life fundraising breakfast. Guests join together to break bread, build community, and celebrate the potential of putting our faith into action in creating a kinder, more joyous, and more equitable world.

This year’s event theme, “Welcome Home,” will celebrate the thousands of families who have found home, community, and purpose through the work of our programs. Join us in marking a new chapter of Interfaith Action as we celebrate 120 years of community action with our partners and faith community members. At this year’s event we’ll explore what our shared work will look like and how we plan to build a Saint Paul that feels like home for all of us!

Date: October 28th, 2026 from 8:00am - 9:30am
Location: Hamline University's Anderson Center - 774 Snelling Ave N, St Paul, MN

Tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day🧡

Orange Shirt Day, observed annually on September 30, is a day of remembrance and awareness honoring the victims and survivors of Indigenous residential and Indian boarding school systems in North America. Wearing orange helps remind us to remember those whose lives were changed, continue to learn how to support our neighbors, and reaffirm our commitment to justice and healing.

We hope you will join us in wearing orange and remembering that Every Child Matters.

Volunteer Highlight🌟

Interfaith Action is beyond grateful for the leadership of St. Timothy Lutheran Church. Last week, in the space of ninety minutes, eight STLC folks removed carpet from rooms destined to be renovated into our Department of Indian Work food shelf, mattresses from a room that needs to be redone for a new family at Project Home, and cleared a storage room that will make it possible to set up our children's room in time for the school year.

Thank you St Timothy Lutheran Church, ELCA, Saint Paul MN!

We are so grateful for everyone who participated in this year's School Tools drive and distribution📓💚

Each year the faith communities of Saint Paul step up to make sure students across the east metro have what they need for success in school. This year, we had 25 faith communities, plus individuals and businesses, step up to offer thousands of dollars to supplies to families served by Project Home, the Department of Indian Work, Career Pathways, Project Reach, Emma Norton Services, and Corner House.

Deepest gratitude to Saint Paul's UCC for hosting the event again this year and helping make the magic happen!

It's officially been 365 days of Project Home at 1010 Bandana🎉

A huge thanks to all of our amazing partners, volunteers, and supporters who have filled the last year with positivity, potential, and fun! With your support we have made this former hotel into a home. From stocking our library to moving mattresses, we could not have gotten to where we are today without you, and we aren't done yet!

We can't wait to see where the next 365 days take us, and we are so grateful for the amazing folks we get to walk alongside during this journey. Lead the way!

Join us in welcoming Jody Emmings as Interfaith Action’s new Chief Executive Officer🌟

This past January, the Interfaith Action Board of Directors named Jody as Interim CEO as they underwent a thoughtful transition planning process and executive search. During this time, Jody, who joined Interfaith Action as Chief Program Officer in January 2025, provided not only steady leadership of the team and continuity of services, but also immersed herself deeply in the organization’s history, culture, and multifaceted partnerships, understanding and honoring this heritage and preparing to meet future community needs.

Through this dedication to energetic leadership and strategic decision-making, Jody showcased her truly innovative and collaborative spirit; and her connection to the community has proven essential during a time of significant challenge and change. All of these factors led the Board to wholeheartedly embrace Jody to be Interfaith Action’s new Chief Executive Officer.
