Homebound elderly residents throughout the Rio Vista area often struggle to maintain their independence in their own homes. Unable to continue driving to get to medical appointments or even the grocery store, basic needs, which most people take for granted, are not always met. Some of these same neighbors are lonely and simply wish for friendly phone calls or a visit at home.
Faith in Action, a local nonprofit agency established in 1998, matches volunteers to assist seniors during what can be a difficult stage in their lives. Volunteers give the gift of time on a weekly or biweekly basis each month, providing a variety of services. (Ask about mileage reimbursement for out of town rides).
In addition to assuring that the seniors the nonprofit serve are able to access what they need, Faith in Action’s volunteers provide a vital connection to the larger community. We all need a connection. We were not meant to live in this world in isolation. Faith in Action’s volunteers truly believe in the motto, “Leave no one behind.” Through their efforts, our seniors are given hope for another day.
If you have some extra time to give back to a senior in your community, come join our team. Be that special person in someone’s life. Call to volunteer. A neighbor’s independence depends on you!
