Interfaith Community Services of South Carolina, Inc
A united faith community . . . working together to build strong families and healthy, thriving children.
Our Programs
The Child and Adult Care Food ProgramThis 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 lsemino@interfaithcommunityservices.org.
Family Child Care Expansion InitiativeThis 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 fb@interfaithcommunityservices.org.
Child Literacy InitiativeThe 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 ProgramInterfaith'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. For more information, contact info@interfaithcommunityservices.org.
Faith Community NetworkInterfaith works in partnership with the South Carolina United Methodist Conference to expand Family Child Care, as well as with all denominations, and has established a network of over 200 churches across the state with interest in child care ministries.
