Faith in Action
helps people in need
without regard to gender, race, income, or religious affiliation. There are no charges for our services.

Volunteers assist older adults, children with special needs, and their families.

Older adults receive non-medical assistance aimed at helping them remain independent in their own homes.

The Volunteer Caregivers and Strong for Life  programs are for older adults.

Services include:

·         Bill paying or record keeping assistance

·         Exercise

·         Friendly visiting

·         Light housekeeping

·         Meal preparation and/or delivery

·         Minor home repairs

·         Pet care

·         Reading

·         Respite for family caregivers

·         Shopping either for or with an elder

·         Telephone reassurance

·         Transportation to appointments and on errands

·         Yard work

Children with special needs due to a disability or chronic health condition may receive a friendly visitor or mentor who visits them at home nearly every week. The Family Friends program serves children with special needs.

Volunteers do not do hands-on professional, medical or emergency care. Services being provided are those that an unpaid, adult relative or good neighbor might do.
