Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers

Mission: To respond to the ever-growing needs of older and physically challenged adults living in our communities who struggle daily to maintain their independence at home, while providing meaningful opportunities for volunteers of all ages and abilities to enrich their lives and live out their faith by helping others.

The Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers Program provides assistance to our older and disabled neighbors who need a little extra help. Many frail and physically challenged adults in our community struggle daily to maintain their independence — our helping hands often make it possible for them to remain in their own homes. IVC works throughout Macomb, Oakland & St. Clair Counties in Michigan to recruit, support and train volunteers who share their time and skills with neighbors in need.

The IVC Program matches volunteers of all ages with older or disables adults to provide a variety of supportive services such as:

• Transportation and help with errands;
• Minor home repairs, maintenance, chores & yard work;
• Light housekeeping and meal preparation;
• Friendly visits and supportive phone calls;
• Respite breaks for full-time family caregivers;
• and other assistance that can help someone remain safely in their home.

The Interfaith Volunteer Care program will try to find a helping hand for anyone regardless of religious preference. All older and disabled adults who need assistance to remain at home are eligible for help, however priority is given to those with the greatest need. All services are offered without charge, although donations are greatly appreciated and help us reach out to more people in need.
