Volunteer Opportunities

Medical Transportation

Volunteers use their vehicles to transport care receivers to and from medical appointments. These appointments vary in duration and are available 7 days a week. Volunteers choose the appointments that work best in their schedules.

Grocery Shopping

Volunteers are matched with a care receiver to provide transportation to the grocery store or food pantry 1-2 times a month. Volunteers might shop with or for a care receiver.

Friendly Visits and Calls

Volunteers help brighten someone’s day with companionship and conversation. Our friendly visitors are paired with a care receiver for phone or in-person visits twice a month.

Light Home Maintenance

Volunteers do simple home repairs that do not require technical skills or equipment. Examples include changing a furnace filter or light bulb. Care receivers must use other Faith in Action Services before requesting home maintenance.

Office Work

We occasionally need volunteers to help in the office with phone calls or mailings.
