The mission of Collinsville Faith in Action is to put our faith into action by serving neighbors sixty years of age and older and persons with disabilities throughout our community with door-to-door, no-cost services to support their independence.Volunteer Caregivers Our Volunteer Caregivers program is host to many services such as: transportation, shopping, companionship, respite for family, minor home repair, and seasonal yard maintenance. Transportation is the biggest piece of this program, offering care receivers a warm smile and friendly conversation as they receive a ride to a medical appointment, grocery store, or other needed errand. The majority of trips provided are for medical appointments to maintain health and well-being. Care receivers and volunteers do NOT need to belong to a church or other faith community to provide or receive services. Answers on Aging Navigating healthcare options and information can be a challenge. Our Answers on Aging Specialist can help individuals apply for: Medicare Benefits including Part D, and the senior discount license plate program called Illinois Benefits Access. This program professional can also help seniors or family members better understand the health care system along with government entitlements.Elder Connection Each month, a group of volunteers and care receivers get together to attend a social event. This can be a trip to an eatery and/or places of interest. The location is different each month, providing a variety of experiences and opportunities to ease isolation and loneliness for those we serve.
