Wake Interfaith Hospitality Network

Four weeks of the year, the Kirk hosts homeless families through WIHN. The families arrive every evening around 6:00, eat supper, rest, play or do homework, and spend the night in Sunday school rooms that have been turned into temporary bedrooms. They rise early for breakfast and leave at 7:00 for jobs, school, or the WIHN day center in Raleigh.

Kirk families help out in ways that include moving cots and supplies, driving the van for guests, providing meals and snacks, playing with the children, and staying overnight as hosts. The Kirk also provides financial support to the program.
