Friendly Visiting and Reassurance Calls – Our volunteers are friendly! Many homebound seniors experience isolation and decreased socialization as the years pass. Our volunteers make friendly visits and reassurance calls which help to enrich our clients’ lives and ease the loneliness that they may be feeling.
Pet Therapy visits – Some of our volunteers are animals! Visits with our trained, certified therapy animals and their handlers can bring happiness and companionship to our clients who are no longer able to be pet owners. Studies have shown that interacting with an animal can actually have health benefits, as well. Clients can call to schedule a visit and we’ll match them with a pet therapy team who will come to the client’s home to visit.
Arts & Crafts – Our volunteers are crafty! We have volunteers who will prepare craft projects to complete with our clients who enjoy working with their hands and being creative. Best of all, Interfaith will provide the supplies.
Haircuts – Our volunteers care! Clients who have difficulty getting out to the salon or barber shop can schedule an appointment with a volunteer who will come to their house to give them a trim.
