Interfaith Caregivers of Polk County

     Interfaith Caregivers connects seniors and adults with disabilities to volunteers and services supporting independence and quality of life.

     This idea was formed with help from the state of Wisconsin and Polk County Aging Department. A taskforce was established with the purpose to find a way to fill the "gaps" in service needs within our community. In 1995, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation awarded the taskforce a $25,000 grant and Interfaith Caregivers was born. 

     Today, Interfaith helps with a variety of services from a ride to an appointment to a phone call to check in on a neighbor. We are fueled by a volunteer group made up of neighbors from our community. They are members of churches, local organizations, and schools, or individuals who just want to be a neighbor helping another neighbor. We receive no government funding, relying on generous donations from people like you.
