Faith in Action — Faith in Action was founded on the ideal of community volunteerism — neighbors helping neighbors. With more Americans living longer, many face the challenge of helping a family member, neighbor or friend who suffers from arthritis, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's, AIDS, or other long-term health condition. Volunteers come from churches, synagogues, mosques and other houses of worship, as well as the community at large. They help those in need by picking up a few groceries or running errands, providing a ride to the doctor, friendly visiting (talking and listening), reading or helping pay bills. With this assistance, older people with long-term health needs can maintain their independence for as long as possible.
