About Us

Who We Are
We are a network of volunteers from various congregations, agencies, and the community-at-large, trained to respond personally to the everyday non-medical needs of people who are elderly, disabled and/or homebound and their caregivers.

Our Mission
Interfaith Caregivers of Ozaukee County is a Faith in Action Program, whose mission is to give personal and social support to people coping with chronic conditions, disabilities, isolation, and other age related disabilities, and to help those responsible for their day-to-day well being.  Volunteer caregivers, along with agencies and the community-at-large, work together to provide non-medical supportive services in order to help people remain independent and live meaningful lives in their own homes.

What We Do
Interfaith Caregivers volunteers give their time to help neighbors with long-term health needs by providing simple assistance, such as:

• Transportation, both in-county and out-of-county
• Grocery and other shopping and errand-running, with or for the client
• Friendly visiting/companionship to the homebound
• Reassurance phone calls
• Assistance with paperwork
• Light housekeeping and laundry
• Yard care and chores, including raking, mowing, shoveling
• Minor home repair
• Respite Care, for up to four hours per session

Who can use Interfaith Caregivers?
Anyone living in Ozaukee County needing assistance due to age (60+), or presenting with a verified disability that limits the ability to participate in daily living activities can contact Interfaith Caregivers and request assistance.  Our help is offered to Ozaukee county residents regardless of race, religious belief or economic status.  Those in need do not have to be a member of a sponsoring congregation.
