How the Program Works

Requests for volunteer services may be made by a senior adult, concerned family member, or social service agency. The only criteria for using Interfaith is that a client be 60 or older and have need of our service.

Transportation service is based on the availability of volunteers, so
requests should be made 10-14 days in advance whenever possible.

The Greatest Need

Transportation and phone volunteers are needed, and slots are available to meet nearly any scheduling limitations. Donations to Interfaith are used to support volunteer recruitment and training and to facilitate the coordination of services.

Major funding for this program generously provided by Memorial Healhcare System
