THE Y IS COMPASSION, WHERE THE ELDERLY ARE PROVIDED FREE TRANSPORTATION TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS AND INFORMATION ABOUT ADDITIONAL LOCAL RESOURCES.
Faith in Action provides free transportation to medical treatments and doctor appointments for the elderly and medically fragile. More than just a ride service, Faith in Action helps the elderly access essential medical care and reduces isolation and loneliness. Volunteers drivers provided 494 trips in 2021, assisting the elderly to remain healthy and independent with care and compassion. Currently, 70% of the 312 program participants have little or no family support nearby, making this mission-critical offering essential for individuals to live independently with dignity.
