Interfaith Outreach of Carmel (IOC) is an organization of diverse sponsoring faith communities, with emphasis on  grants to agencies that provide housing resources.

IOC's Mission is: 
"....joining hands to reduce homelessness."

Interfaith Outreach of Carmel:

is an organization of diverse faith communities joined together to address cooperative, constructive, and positive interaction of spiritual and practical needs in Monterey County. We have identified people experiencing homelessness as a major need; therefore, IOC provides grants to agencies with emphasis on providing housing resources. By being outreach leaders within our community our goals include aiding in creating solutions, stimulating public awareness, and raising funds to provide grants that fulfill our mission. Since its formation in May 2007, the faith communities of the IOC have joined hands to support each others' events. IOC has sponsored some events on its own also. To further its mission to support the community, in 2010 the IOC opened a benefit shop named "Joining Hands" in Carmel, California. The purpose of Joining Hands Benefit Shop is to be a fundraising component of IOC.

This month we celebrate 10 years of success of  our Joining Hands Benefit Store. 
Our 10 Year Anniversary Celebration,
& "Outdoor Art Sale" was held Saturday, the 24th with live music and lots of sales for  
Joining Hands Benefit Shop
Rev. Holly Hudson-Louis, co-founder of Abraham's Tent, an interfaith soup kitchen in Seaside, and former All Saints Day School Chaplain blessed the renovated shop.
The Anniversary Ribbon Cutting took place prior to the opening. MaryAnn Spadoni, new Executive Director cut the ribbon with the Carmel Chamber's scissors.
While sales were robust, we do have several items left. Drop by the shop or look over the photos below and let us know if you would like to purchase one or more!
