Friends in Action is a unique volunteer program serving family caregivers and the elders they care for. 

Friends in Action volunteers lead nationally recognized, evidence-based education programs; provide caregiver respite; transport elders to medical appointments and shopping; offer companionship to homebound elders; provide minor home safety repairs; assist in planning the annual Family Caregiver Conference; and plan fundraising events.  Every FIA service is designed to engage our community in service, sustain the efforts of family caregivers, and enhance independence of frail elders.  Every caregiver and elder helped is an accomplishment of hope.

Since 2004 we have been making a difference in the lives of family caregivers and elders in the Treasure Valley. Our volunteers, partners and donors prove that by working together we can do more than we ever thought possible to improve the lives of our valued neighbors.

We invite you to learn more about Friends in Action. Learn about our classes for family caregivers. See how we make a difference in the lives of elders every day.  Become a volunteer.  Help us broaden our capacity to serve elders and their families, and promote participation, independence and dignity for all of our older neighbors.  We welcome you to Friends in Action.
