Open House for National Volunteer Week
Faith in Action of the River Cities will hold an Open House on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 from 2:00 pm until 6:00 pm at the office, 848 Ninth Avenue in Huntington. The event is held in recognition of National Volunteer Week, April 19th through 25th.
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 21st 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.
