THE LEHIGH CONFERENCE OF CHURCHES brings together more than 140 congregations and organizations—representing nearly every local faith tradition—in our efforts to create stability for people struggling with poverty, homelessness, mental illness, and addiction. Christian principles have guided our efforts since 1954 to feed, house, and heal those in need while opening the doors to assistance programs, job-training opportunities, and other paths toward self-reliance. Our dedicated staff and thousands of volunteers build supportive relationships that encourage all who seek out help to meet their full potential.
