Who can request
services?Older adults who face
challenges related to aging.
What type of services are
provided?
Volunteers provide
neighborly help with things such as yardwork, light housekeeping,
transportation to appointments, minor home repairs or friendly
visits. They are not able to provide personal care.
Is there a charge?
There is no charge for services and volunteers will not
accept payment. However, Faith in Action welcomes donations
to the program so that others may receive services.
How do you request services?
Call the Faith in Action office at
503-537-1549. If your needs are in line with our mission, we will
make a home visit and complete a recipient form. After that
initial visit, you just call the office to request services. We
appreciate a minimum of three day's notice.
