Faith in Action

Faith in Action coordinates volunteers to help people who face challenges related to health or aging.

Caregivers - Volunteers help older adults with light housekeeping, yardwork, minor repairs, meal and library book delivery, transportation to appointments, and making friendly visits.

Family Friends - Volunteers befriend a child with special needs due to a chronic health condition or disability, offering love, companionship and support to the entire family.

Strong for Life - Volunteers coach older adults in an easy to follow fitness routine designed to improve strength, function, and balance.

==============

Volunteers are trained to respectfully and compassionately help older adults and children with special needs and their families. Volunteers are the heart of Faith in Action. By sharing a few minutes a month or an hour or two each week, you assure the well-being of your neighbors.

Volunteers opportunities (updated 10/12/09):

Housekeeping - We have several requests light housekeeping - either one time cleanings or regular, twice a month visits to the same person.

Exercise coaches - Call Deana to find out how you can be a volunteer coach. You can help others lead a healthy life and get your daily exercise in at the same time!

Do we have your email address on file? If that's a good way to contact you, please send your email so we can update our files!

Volunteer applications, screenings, and training/orientations must take place before matching with a person in need. Please call today to find out how you can help!
