Jewish Family & Career Services welcomed Faith Folwler as Case Manager of the Food Pantry in January 2026.

Faith brings a diverse professional background in social services. She began as a volunteer before becoming a Community Resource Advocate at the Center for Women and Families, serving locations in Southern Indiana and Kentucky. She later worked as an MHT II at Our Lady of Peace for two years, primarily supporting adults in a hospital setting. Most recently, she served nearly three years as a Case Manager at Society of St. Vincent de Paul, working with families and individuals both on-site and off-site. In that role, she supported clients in housing programs requiring eligibility criteria such as income below a specified threshold, documented mental health disabilities, and, in some cases, experiences with domestic violence or substance use disorder.

Faith earned her Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree with a double minor in Psychology and English from Indiana University Southeast and is currently pursuing her Master of Social Work at the same institution. She also completed her generalist-level practicum at the Center for Women and Families, bringing her total time there to approximately four and a half years. During her undergraduate studies, she explored several academic paths, changing her major three times before finding her professional focus.

Faith comes from a large, blended family and lives in Louisville with her boyfriend and her rescued Shih Tzu, Lucy, who is nearly 13 years old.

In her spare time, Faith enjoys traveling and experiencing different cultures. Her international experiences began with a study abroad semester in England, Ireland, and Wales. She has also traveled to Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico twice. She values exposure to diverse communities and perspectives, believing that new environments broaden her understanding while complementing her continued education and professional growth.
