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.
