Faith in Action volunteers work in communities across the country to care for their neighbors who face disability or chronic conditions by providing simple assistance that allows them to maintain their independence for as long as possible. This fast-growing national movement of interfaith volunteers includes local Faith in Action programs that bring together religious congregations, community organizations, hospices, clinics and hospitals.
