Faith in Action is an interfaith, volunteer organization that provides vital, non-medical assistance to the elderly and adults with disabilities free of charge.  Volunteer care givers take seniors to appointments, assist with grocery shopping or paperwork, make friendly visits, and provide daily telephone reassurance calls among many other services.  The personal connection between volunteer and care receiver is one reason the organization has been active in the region since 1996.  The services provided help seniors remain in their own homes and improve the quality of their lives.  Faith in Action serves the elderly and adults with disabilities in Cabell and northern Wayne Counties in WV and Lawrence County, Ohio.

The public is invited to stop by the office on the 21^st to learn more about Faith in Action and volunteer opportunities; to enjoy light refreshments; and to thank the volunteers who make it all possible.  Anyone with questions may call the Faith in Action office at (304) 697-1274 or (toll free) 877-367-1271.  Office hours are Monday-Thursday, 8:30 am-4:30 pm.

Calling All Volunteers, We Need You:
Bring gloves, hoes, shovels, spades, trash bags, and whatever else you can think of, especially friends or family that could lend a hand Our next meeting is this Saturday at 2pm at the Barnett Facilities building, located at 1524 10th Avenue across from White Way. We need lots of volunteers to help work in the garden area, doing things like marking the beds with twine, cleaning and clearing the surface, turning the soil, weeding, etc. Also, on Tuesday next week, I need volunteers to help clean-up and prepare the Webb’s donated gardening area, especially clearing out their old burn-pile. We’ll meet at the Ace Hardware parking lot on 5th St Road at 1pm.

Confirmation Email:
Email us at our communitygardenshunt@gmail.com account to confirm that you are Volunteering. In that email, we will need your full name, which days you can Volunteer, and the best way to reach you by phone if there is a last-minute change of plans. This will be especially necessary when working on privately donated garden spaces, such as the Webb’s property, so that property owners know in advance who will be visiting at what times and for what purposes.

Weather:
The weather looks GREAT for Friday-Wednesday, so keep your fingers crossed!
See You Saturday and Tuesday!
