What is the Interfaith Caregivers AmeriCorps Seniors Program?  

Interfaith Caregivers is very thankful for the support provided by AmeriCorps Seniors.  Interfaith’s AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer) Program provides support services to local seniors and individuals with disabillites  so they can lead healthy and independent lives while aging in place with dignity.

• Transportation to medical and therapy appointments, in-and-out of Ozaukee County.
• Grocery shopping and errand-running 
• Friendly visits 
• Reassuring phone calls 
• Respite Care–enhanced friendly visits (non-medical services)
• Assisting with education initiatives and special projects
• Tracking, checking-in/out equipment for our Ozaukee h.e.l.p. Corner, a health equipment lending program that lends wheelchairs, walkers and canes free of charge.
