Integrated Faith Assembly, Inc. was officially established in 2009. Our group rapidly grew and began volunteering in nursing homes and shelters. We also worked with at-risk families and youth. We provided ministries to Candlewood Nursing Home in East Cleveland, Ohio, Zelma George in Cleveland, Ohio, and Salvation Army (offering 12-step). Our group also volunteered in Cleveland Clinic hospitals, city missions, and other agencies throughout the city of Cleveland.

Through our collective effort, we provided food for the hungry, household items for families in transition, toys for tots, clothing, furniture, and more to deprived people.

We reached out to nurses and social service providers in order to extend our services and broaden the network of individuals willing to assist others in our endeavors. IFA was established as a 501(c)(3) in 2009, an organization dedicated to:

• Strengthening families through community programs (life skills and training)
