Interfaith Care Partners – Second Family Ministry

Interfaith Care Partners operates through a number of groups, volunteers known as "Care Circles."  Each group, who will become the "second family" to the family requesting their presence, offers support to individuals and families affected by chronic or terminal illnesses or disabilities. The members of these groups share in service activities so that no team member is solely responsible for the level of care that may be required and no member is overburdened with too frequent or too lengthy visits.

Care Circle members provide a range of services including:

Emotional and physical support;

Limited transportation;

Friendly visits and companionship;

Respite opportunities that lift the burden of care for caregivers of ill or disabled loved ones

 

 St Martha Interfaith Care Partners meets once a month on the 2^nd Tuesday of the month from 7 to 8:30 PM in Adult Education Room 2.
