What FaithLink Does: |
|
| Works with communities of faith to recruit, train, manage, and support volunteers who provide simple services to people who need a little help from a friend. | |
| Matches volunteer caregivers with people who are elderly, have a disability, or are chronically ill, in a unique relationship of caring, friendship and service. | |
| Provides a way for caring people to put their faith into action by volunteering a few hours a month to help someone in the community. | |
| Assists pastors and leaders of faith communities in reaching those persons within the church, in the neighborhood and in the community who may benefit from the help of a caring volunteer. | |
| Networks with community agencies to provide services to those who may otherwise "fall through the cracks." | |
| Assists with such practical needs as a ride to the store or a doctor's appointment while helping to meet the emotional and spiritual needs through friendly visits, phone calls and other forms of social support. | |
