Serving Seniors and Adults with Disabilities
Since 1994, Interfaith Caregivers of Greater Mercer County has helped underserved, homebound seniors, and adults 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. It is a safety net of support for the most vulnerable among us.
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 from home, finding new ways to reach out to all we serve.
Caregiving Services and Wellness Programs
Interfaith Caregivers of Greater Mercer County mobilizes hundreds of dedicated volunteers who provide free caregiving and wellness services for the homebound elderly and adults with disabilities in the greater Mercer County area.

Neighbors Helping Neighbors
Our caring volunteers provide free non-medical support for homebound seniors and adults with disabilities so that they may age with dignity in their own homes, for as long as possible.

Project Healthy Bones
Exercise and health education program for older adults, with or at risk of osteoporosis. Program’s goal is to improve strength, balance, and flexibility for safe and successful aging.
Join Our Network of Volunteers
We are looking for compassionate adults, 18 years and older, with a positive attitude, willing to help people in need in their community.
Interfaith Caregivers volunteers provide simple services like grocery shopping, giving a ride to a doctor’s appointment, a friendly in-person or virtual visit, or helping with small household chores.
These tasks may seem small, but they are essential for those with decreasing mobility or physical limits due to their disability. Volunteer caregiving enables our elderly neighbors to live independently and have a profound effect on both the care receiver and the volunteer.
There are numerous volunteer opportunities available in our network. We believe that you can find one that you would enjoy.
