FAITH in ACTION

    

 

     For someone with long-term health needs, something as simple as changing a light bulb can mean the difference between maintaining or losing independence.  Thankfully, Faith in action volunteers in Carrington can help bring light back into the lives of those with long-term health needs.

     Our program is a new part of Carrington Health Center that connects volunteers to neighbors in need.  We bring together volunteers of many faiths to help people in our community with long-term health needs or disabilities maintain their independence for as long as possible by providing non-medical assistance with daily activities.

     Volunteer activities include shopping for groceries, providing rides to medical appointments, cooking meals, doing light housework, running errands and providing companionship through visits or phoning.  Volunteers also may provide respite care and relief for family caregivers.

     The Faith in Action program is beginning here in Carrington and needs your time and talents.  Just a few hours a month can make the world of difference.

     Become the Hands and Feet of Jesus; put your Faith in Action!  For more information, contact Faith in Action of Carrington Health Center coordinator: Jan Bakke at 652-7218.
