Building a Community of Caring...
By helping people maintain their independence at home.
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.
