Serving Seniors and Disabled Neighbors

Since 1994, Interfaith Caregivers of Greater Mercer County has helped underserved, homebound seniors, and people with disabilities to age in their homes, with independence and dignity. Our caregiving and wellness services are provided by a dedicated group of volunteers who are recruited, trained, and managed by Interfaith Caregivers of Greater Mercer County and in cooperation with our interdenominational coalition. Volunteers  assist with everyday living activities, including rides to essential doctor’s appointments, grocery shopping, minor household chores, and friendly visits. 

During the Covid-19 pandemic our services are needed more than ever.  Our volunteers reach out to their care receivers to ensure they have access to everything they need including: food, medication, and transportation to medical appointments while practicing social distancing and following safety guidelines. Our staff and leadership have been working on new ways to reach out to all we serve.

Interfaith Caregivers volunteers provide small but essential services like grocery shopping, giving a ride to a doctor’s appointment or  a friendly in-person or virtual visit. Help with these tasks enables our elderly neighbors to remain in their homes and live independently.

There are numerous volunteer opportunities available in our network. We believe that you can find one that you would enjoy.
