Community Thanksgiving Celebration: November 21, 2023

Interfaith Communities in Action's annual Community Thanksgiving Celebration returns to an in-person gathering this coming Tuesday, November 21st, at 7:00 pm at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 1373 Kilauea Ave. in Hilo. ICIA member and friend congregations will prepare family and neighbor friendly musical and spoken offerings to lift the hearts of all present. There will be time to relax and talk story with one another over goodies when the concert is over. Attendees will have the opportunity to bring non-perishable food items that will go to the Food Basket.

In addition, audience members can contribute cash gifts that will support the relief efforts to recover from the wildfires on Maui, and the general work of ICIA.

Our Seven Goals

​1. Communicate with one another about the needs of those who are hurting in our community  and opportunities to respond to those needs; 
2. Educate our own faith communities about these needs;
3. Network with organizations and agencies which are serving the hurting persons in our community;
4. Offer opportunities for direct involvement in efforts/projects which are attempting to help people in need through volunteer ministries or financial contributions;
5. Become a catalyst for new projects to address community needs;
6. Sponsor fundraising efforts for specific purposes aimed at addressing the needs we encounter;
7. Promote religious tolerance, understanding, and appreciation.
