Come & help an elderly or disabled person with small tasks they cannot do anymore so they are able to stay in their home safely. This could be helping with laundry, vacuuming, or changing their bedding. These small tasks help so much, and take only a couple of hours of your time!
*Faith in Action serves all of Sherburne County and parts of Wright, Stearns, Benton and Mille Lacs Counties. We help individuals and families who are challenged by low incomes, loneliness, being home-bound, a disability or chronic health issue, as well as the elderly and family caregivers, through a number of programs and initiatives. We have several volunteer opportunities for men, women, youth and small groups. Through your volunteering, no matter the time commitment, together we can make a difference for our neighbors...and our community!
Our volunteers can choose to serve in a variety of ways. Whether you enjoy working with people one on one, behind the scenes, in a group or with your hands, there are plenty of opportunities to help with the mission.

Mission Statement
Strengthening our communities by expressing our faith in action through professional and volunteer services to help meet the needs of body, mind and spirit, of the aging and families in need, the poor, sick or disabled--and those who care for them. So they can live independently and self-sufficiently, with dignity and quality of life.
Description
As a faith-based agency, Great River Area Faith in Action provides an opportunity for people to live their faith by serving others.
Our multidisciplinary team works alongside hundreds of volunteers from many different congregations and the community to meet the needs of the whole person. We reach out to people who are finding life difficult because of age, disability, or life circumstance and through the context of supportive and loving relationships help others to maintain their independence. As we share our life and our stories we convey the faith that is in our hearts.
The goal of our services are to empower and educate our clients to make choices that will help them to remain living independently and safely. They are not intended to replace the traditional role of family caregivers nor do we desire to do for others what they are capable of doing for themselves. We work to support families as they care for their loved ones and, whenever possible, to empower people to assume personal responsibility.
We serve people in need, regardless of age, nationality, gender or creed, to enable them to maintain their human dignity and the greatest possible level of independence.
