It is the responsibility of FCAC to advise the county executive on the needs and concerns of faith communities that worship and serve others in Montgomery County, including on land use issues, policy initiatives, budget priorities, response to emergencies and acts of hate and violence, intervention and prevention of violence, integration of immigrants, healthcare for all, and other partnership opportunities. FCAC works to identify all faith communities worshipping and serving others in Montgomery County to establish effective communication and encourage collaboration among themselves, government offices, and human service agencies for the benefit of all.

The members of the Faith Community Advisory Council are comprised, as much as possible, of the full spectrum of faith communities: clergy and governing leadership of faith communities, and religiously based nonprofit organizations.

Interfaith Works (IW) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides emergency shelter, supportive housing, essential needs, and employment programs to over 35,000 residents of Montgomery County, MD, every year. IW was founded in 1972 by local faith communities who saw Montgomery County residents in need and felt collaborative action was the best way to help them. Today, Interfaith Works is not a religious organization, but we maintain our original spirit of striving to provide Montgomery County residents in need with the best possible assistance through our various programs.
