What Is Faith in Action?

The Faith in Action National Network is a membership group of local Faith in Action programs whose purpose is to promote the sharing of knowledge and ideas that can help strengthen and support the hundreds of local Faith in Action programs that are active across the United States.  In addition, this network fosters and supports the development of new Faith in Action programs in all communities that want and need the services that a Faith in Action program can provide. 

Local Faith in Action programs bring volunteers of different faiths and backgrounds together to care for their homebound neighbors who may be isolated and living with chronic health conditions or disabilities.  The Faith in Action volunteers come from churches and other houses of worship, as well as from the community at large, and provide many forms of non-medical assistance, such as transportation, help with shopping, minor home repair, friendly visits and respite care for family caregivers.

There are more than 600 Faith in Action programs in the United States.
