Volunteer Training
An in-person orientation introduces prospective volunteers to how Faith in Action supports local seniors through neighborly assistance. Volunteers help with no-cost rides to medical appointments, grocery trips, friendly phone check-ins, and social visits, and Honey Do Crews handle light home maintenance and minor repairs. The session explains how to choose the service roles and schedule that fit your availability, with full flexibility over when and how often you serve. Attendance at one orientation is required before beginning volunteer activities. There is no fee to participate, and an RSVP is requested through the provided ticket link.
