Who We Are
Who We Are
Faith Action for Community Equity (FACE), a Gamaliel Foundation affiliate, is a faith-based grassroots organization in Hawaii founded in 1996. FACE grew out of a sponsoring committee established in the mid-1990s with the assistance of the Center for Community Change. We currently have a membership base of 24 institutions: 19 churches, a Buddhist temple, a synagogue, UNITE-HERE Local 5, Kukui Gardens Resident Association, and the Ecumenical Association for Housing. FACE represents over 28,000 people on Oahu who reflect the cultural and socio-economic diversity of our community.
FACE exists to allow its members to live out our common, faith-based values by engaging in actions that challenge the systems that perpetuate poverty and injustice. We balance social, economic and community activity with a deep spiritual commitment. Our spiritual centeredness empowers us to return hope and love to the public arena.
