Mission & Vision

Faith in Action is an independent nonprofit organization founded in 2005 to serve the greater Bloomington Normal area. At the time, local parish nurses saw a need to provide transportation for older adults in their congregation to medical appointments. This task was too monumental for each individual parish to accomplish, but they realized if they worked together, their efforts could provide rides to older adults across faith organizations and the entire community.

Today, Faith in Action utilizes over 450 volunteers to provide transportation for over 500 care receivers. Our services have expanded to include transportation for grocery shopping, a friendly visiting program, and occasional light home maintenance. As an interfaith organization, we welcome people of all faith backgrounds and utilize congregational liaisons to work with partner congregations.

Faith in Action provides spiritual, physical, and emotional support to adults 60 years or older and their caregivers to help them maintain independence, dignity, health, and improved quality of life. We accomplish this through a network of office team members, volunteers, interfaith congregations and community organizations.
