This week Kat sits down with Maureen Baty who is the Executive Director for Great River Faith In Action
Great River Faith in Action helps elderly and disabled people to be able to live in their homes safely by bringing in volunteers to help with tasks they are no longer able to do. Some examples are lawn mowing, driving them to the doctor appt or grocery store, minor home repairs, snow removal, friendly visits, respite and more.
Rake the Town is a big fall event where business, churches, groups or families go rake a lawn in the community of an elderly or disabled person.
In their Furniture for Families Program they provide basic furniture needs to struggling families in our area. Their partnership with Becker Furniture World makes this happen and they also take some donated furniture & kitchen items.
Currently GRFIA has 406 clients they serve, some 1x a week and some 1x a year, depending on the needs. In 2022, volunteer drivers drove over 32,000 miles bringing people to medical appointments & the grocery store. They have many individual & group volunteer opportunities!
Christmas cheer bags are an initiative started during the pandemic that they are excited to offer for the third year. Check out their website, information will be released soon: https://www.grfia.org/give/christmas/
