Our mission at Interfaith Ministries of Denton is to provide assistance to the vulnerable in our community and to advocate for those in need of basic resources.
Interfaith Ministries provides vital services including utility assistance, diapers and wipes, hygiene supplies, and referrals.
Interfaith Ministries is a non-sectarian, non-denominational agency that provides services without regard to race, religion, gender, marital status, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identification, presence of disability, or age.
Our History
In 1991, local churches and civic agencies were being inundated with requests for food and clothing as well as financial assistance for rent, utilities, medications, and other individual needs. Rather than providing fragmented services, several area churches decided to pool their resources under one roof.
IFM was officially chartered by the State of Texas in October of 1992 as the Social Action Committee and the name was changed in 1993 to Interfaith Ministries of Denton, Inc.
Today, as the primary resource for short-term emergency assistance in Northern Denton County, IFM serves over 3,000 people a year. IFM’s goal is to help individuals become maintain financial stability and prevent homelessness. We are supported by several area faith-based organizations, individual donors, contracts, grant funding, and special events.
Interfaith started in a corner of First United Methodist Church in Denton.
In 1997, we moved to 109 W. Sycamore, where we shared space wtih the Denton Community Food Center.
In 2008, we moved to our little house at 1109 N. Elm - a space big enough to serve the growing number of people we see today.
