Faith-based social welfare services

Faith-based social welfare services are programs provided by religious organizations to support individuals and communities in need. These services often include food assistance, housing support, counseling, education, and healthcare, motivated by religious values such as compassion and service. They operate alongside government programs, sometimes collaborating with public agencies, to address social issues like poverty, homelessness, or addiction. While rooted in religious principles, many faith-based organizations serve people regardless of their beliefs, focusing on humanitarian aid and community building to improve well-being and promote social justice.
