What is Faith in Action?
Volunteers
Volunteers
take seniors to medical appointments, religious services, shopping, and other necessary errands
and appointments. They also make friendly home visits, telephone reassurance calls,
and perform light home and yard
maintenance.
Care Receivers
Seniors 60 years and older contact the Faith in Action (FIA) office
to see if they are eligible to receive services. To be eligible they
must 1) reside in Bloomington-Normal and 2) be 60 years or older and not
living in a nursing home or long term care facility. A home visit is
required to
determine their needs and how to best meet them. Once eligible, care
receivers call or use this website to ask for assistance.

U
P D A T E ! from Bobbi
Our 2009 Annual Appeal "Put Your
Faith into Action" campaign was a great blessing to us again this
year. Thanks to everyone who made a financial gift to our ministry helping
us to raise $8797.00 as of December 31, 2009. We are very grateful as
this allows us to continue serving needs of the seniors in
Bloomington-Normal. Keep us and our seniors in your prayers.
