Interchurch Social Services of Knox County Inc. - Centerburg

Interchurch Social Services of Knox County Inc. (ISS) has provided emergency assistance and a Christian presence to thousands in need in our local communities since 1968. In 1984, an editorial in the Mount Vernon News asserted "Interchurch Social Services has done more to unite Knox Countians in serving humankind than any other agency." That message is as true today as it was 28 years ago! Our presence in the community has sensitized our friends, neighbors, co-workers, and employers to the issues of poverty and provides a forum for their response. ISS provides a channel for contributions and distribution of food, clothing and funds.
