Interfaith Social Services
About
Interfaith Social Services is a Quincy nonprofit that helps South Shore families and individuals in need, with programs focused on hunger, mental health and emergency assistance. It relies on a team of volunteers, donors and community partners to run compassionate, client-centered services. Its food pantry is one of the largest emergency food programs in Greater Boston, serving thousands of South Shore families each year. Its offices and thrift shop are both in Quincy.
Helping neighbors since 1947, Interfaith runs New Directions Counseling Center, which offers mental health counseling on a sliding-fee scale, and HomeSafe, its homelessness prevention program, which provides budget counseling, information and referral, and help with overdue rent. The Bureau Drawer Thrift Shop, supported by community donations since 1975 and operated entirely by volunteers, sells donated goods, with all sales directly supporting Interfaith’s programs.
