Interfaith Emergency Services: Investing in People with Purpose and Faith

In this powerful episode of Let’s Share, host Dr. Leigh Byers welcomes Karla Greenway, CEO of Interfaith Emergency Services in Ocala, Florida. With over 42 years of serving vulnerable populations, Interfaith is more than a local charity—it's a faith-fueled movement of compassion, collaboration, and strategic care.

Karla shares how Interfaith was birthed through unity among local churches and has grown to become one of the most impactful nonprofits in the region, offering food, shelter, prescription medication, healthcare, supportive housing, and more to those in crisis. From backpack food programs for children to housing for adults with disabilities, their services reflect one core belief: the investment in people is an act of great faith.

This episode explores:

• The power of interdenominational and inter-agency collaboration
• The hidden stories of seniors, children, and individuals with disabilities impacted by poverty
• The real, raw frontline work that fuels Karla’s leadership and Interfaith’s mission
• How faith, humility, and daily service are the true leadership model
• A model that can inspire other communities to adopt faith-based, collaborative approaches to crisis care
