Volunteer connection

Faith in Action – Make a difference for a neighbor who needs a little help to remain independent. Faith in Action, a program of TRPIL Community Services, has volunteer opportunities throughout Washington County. They include:
• A Burgettstown senior woman needs rides, shopping and/or light housekeeping help. She is caring for a disabled daughter.
• An 89-year-old Canonsburg woman needs rides and assistance to go to the grocery store.
• A senior Charleroi area woman needs rides for appointments on Oct. 10 in Bentleyville and Oct. 13 in Rostraver Township.
• A couple in their 90s needs someone who can assist with getting groceries weekly in the McMurray area.
• An 87-year old Washington woman with limited vision needs rides to doctor appointments and to the store.
Anyone who is interested in helping these older residents or others dealing with a disability remain independent is asked to call Faith in Action at 724-223-5115, ext. 1203. The office is staffed part time, but phone calls will be returned. All volunteers are trained and screened before placement.
