Faith in Action allows seniors to live indepednantly with help from volunteers.
Can you spare an hour once or twice a month to brighten someone's day?
From sharing a cup of coffee and conversation to driving an aging fisherman to his favorite hole, there are countless ways to become involved.
As a volunteer, you decide when, where and whom you're able to help. We meet with you to see if Faith in Action is a good fit for both the agency and volunteer. We offer on going support to our volunteers and remain in contact so that we can be aware of any changes in your life that affect your ability to volunteer.
Do you have a group of people interested in helping? We also coordinate larger groups, often to do outdoor work and repairs.
