Adopt A Volunteer
164 W. Garland Street

Faith in Action volunteers serve year-round in many different ways.  There is NEVER a fee
charged to our Care Recipients for any of our services.  You know what a valuable service
they provide, but did you know that the Independent Sector sets a monetary value on their
service?  Our volunteers hour is worth $18.77!  Faith in Action and it's Volunteers don't
receive any money for the hours served by our volunteers, but there are costs associated
with keeping our program running.  You can show how much
you value Faith in Action
volunteers by "Adopting" a volunteer today.
