Interfaith Caregiving Network, Inc. is a
faith-centered, community-based organization assisting older adults
(60+) and disabled adults (18+) throughout Waukesha County. This
network helps these individuals remain in their homes by organizing
volunteers to provide free supportive services. Interfaith enhances
the quality of life by connecting clients with committed, caring, and
dedicated volunteers.
All services through Interfaith are free of
charge and offered through the generous gifts of time from
community volunteers.
Some of the services provided are:
- Transportation to medical appointments, and other appointments as needed
- In-home friendly visiting
- Telephone reassurance and friendships
- Grocery shopping with or for an individual
- Outdoor chores including snow removal and lawn care
- Non-medical, in-home respite care for individuals caregiving
for a loved one with dementia, Parkinson's disease, ALS, long-term
disability or illness
- Help with forms and bills
- Referral and connection to other county services
- Special fall and spring outdoor chore days to prepare homes for
the changes in season
St. Paul Parish supports this organization by
supplying volunteers and some financial support.
