Bobbi Hynes,

Since our humble beginnings in 2005, Faith in Action has focused our energies on living out our mission to help older adults in the Twin Cities remain independent in their own homes with dignity and quality of life. We continue to strive to be compassionate, helpful, and hopeful friends to the senior citizens in Bloomington-Normal by providing practical assistance to them. It is because of the volunteers' generosity of their time and energy and the generosity of our donors who financially support our mission that we are able to continue to provide the services that have brightened the days for over 300 older adults in our community. I consider it a distinct privilege to serve alongside the best volunteers that Bloomington-Normal has to offer. Come and join us as we seek to make the "golden years" a little brighter and more fulfilling for our senior citizens.
