6.6: Objective 6.6
Leverage the contributions of community- and faithbased organizations to increase the effectiveness of Department programs Other Information:
America is richly blessed by the diversity and vigor of neighborhood heroes: civic, social, charitable and religious groups.
These quiet champions lift people’s lives in ways that are beyond government’s know-how, usually on shoestring budgets, and
they heal our nation’s ills one heart and one act of kindness at a time. The indispensable and transforming work of charitable
service groups— including faith-based groups—must be encouraged. These organizations bring the spirit of compassion, volunteerism
and close connection to communities to their work. The Department will encourage their active participation in its programs.
