My Nonprofit Reviews

I went to work for Faith in Action in 2007. retiring earlier this year. In the time I worked there, I was privileged to work with staff and volunteers who truly cared for our seniors and for our community.

Several of these volunteers came alongside a vet facing chemotherapy and radiation. They not only transported him to his daily appointments, but provided friendship and support through his struggle.

Another volunteer, who himself suffered from MS; cleaned the house, tended the yard, and transported a blind neighbor and his wife for many, many years.

Teams of volunteers each year bring Christmas presents to shut-in and needy seniors.

Meals and companionship are provided through volunteer help at Faith in Action's HUB Center for Seniors.

I could go on and on, but could not begin to touch on the thousands of examples of generous service that I saw and experienced in the last 10 years. I stand in true admiration of all the local heroes I have been blessed to know.

In spite of all this generosity however, the need in our area is still huge.

Seniors struggle to stay in their homes even as they grow less capable of maintaining them.

Aging soldiers fight terrifying diagnosis - often alone.

Isolation leads to depression, leading to illness and even death.

Faith in Action needs both donors and volunteers to continue being the hand of caring to it's aging neighbors. Can you help?
