Who do we serve?
How do we serve?
Why do we serve?Quotes from some of our volunteers and the people we help: “I love creating moments of joy, hope and relief” “I now have a connection back to the community” “I know we are making a difference; right here-right now in our community” “Friends in action provides hands on immediate services to our community” “I have a family, but they have a life of their own. It’s just nice to have someone else to call on for help” “A new friend can know and accept me and my family just as I am today” “You’re never too old to make friends” “In providing respite, we help caretakers have a break from the difficulties of day-to-day caring and the stress that creates in the relationship with their loved one. Our help, giving them that break, that time for themselves, helps the love remain strong in their relationships” "In my quiet meditation time this morning, high on my list of gratitude was the wonderful time I had driving a client with total hearing loss Monday afternoon. Spending 3 hours in silence with her (shopping stops all over town), all the while sharing trust and a new friendship based on the language of love, was a grace-filled experience for me.
Thank you for providing me this opportunity. We, the volunteers, are the lucky ones in FIA's work." "How humbling the experience has been to volunteer thinking my Senior needed me when in fact it was, "me" that needed her all along…life is delicious and always a wonder! Thanks FIA for changing "2" lives."
