A united faith community . . . working together to build strong families and healthy, thriving children.

Our Programs

The Child and Adult Care Food Program

This program seeks to enhance the nutrition and learning of pre-school children in 23 counties across South Carolina. CACFP works on child nutrition and school readiness by supporting the work of Family Child Care with training, technical assistance, program monitoring, fire and safety inspections, and a reimbursement program to reward child care providers for serving nutritious meals to the children in care. For more information, contact fp@interfaithcommunityservices.org.

The Faith and Community Based Resource Center

This program seeks to improve child development and the quality of child care programs statewide. FCBRC works with the faith community to improve the quality of child care with on-site technical assistance and training for providers of care, teachers and parents. The program also provides networking opportunities, resources and interventions to support licensing. For more information, contact rc@interfaithcommunityservices.org.

Family Child Care Expansion Initiative.

This program seeks to expand the number of Family Child Care Homes and providers as well as the number of children placed in appropriate care. Family Child Care provides a smaller setting so that children may receive more individualized attention and it is more cost effective for parents. Interfaith works through local churches to expand this child care option. For more information, contact info@interfaithcommunityservices.org.

Child Literacy Initiative

The board and staff of Interfaith Community Services work continuously on book drives and other efforts that bring in gently used children’s books, which we then share free of charge with our children, providers and parents to support reading and early learning. To help with this book effort or to donate children’s books, please contact info@interfaithcommunityservices.org.

Child Safety Program

Interfaith's Child Safety Program provides safety kits with fire extinguishers, smoke detectors and more to new Family Child Care providers. The kit includes training, a manual and organizer. The kits help new Family Child Care providers meet DSS requirements, open their small businesses and keep the children in their care super safe.
