Interfaith Volunteers

Interfaith relies on over 200 compassionate volunteers to provide nearly 10,000 volunteer hours each year. If you have one hour a week or one hour a month you can be part of our Interfaith family. 

• We work with our community and all area churches to recruit and train volunteers who have a desire to help others, making our community stronger, one volunteer at a time. 
• Volunteers assist with transportation, friendly visits, grocery shopping, respite care, yard work or minor home repairs, light house cleaning, or mentoring. 
• Individuals, families, or groups can volunteer in any of our program areas. Below is a more detailed listing of areas you or your group can volunteer. For more information, call Interfaith at 715-284-7058 or contact us here.  

• Cleaning: Volunteer to provide simple weekly or bi-weekly cleaning to an aging neighbor or person with disabilities, which may include vacuuming, mopping, and dusting. 
• Driving to Appointments: Give an elderly or disabled individual a ride to their medical appointment, church, social visit, or grocery store based on your availability and location. Click here for more information.
• Fall/Spring Yard Clean Up: Gather your family, friends, congregation, or youth group and tackle a seasonal outdoor project for our clients. These are one-day events that last a few hours. Projects include raking leaves, washing outdoor windows, cleaning first level gutters, setting out lawn furniture, etc. 
• Friendly Visiting: Visit with an isolated senior or disabled individual for a few hours a month. 
• Groceries to Go (G2G): Deliver groceries from our Groceries to Go Program on Wednesday morning or Thursdays. One day a month or every week. Click here for more information.

• Jackson United Mentoring Program Volunteer (JUMP): Interfaith coordinates volunteers that spend one hour a week during the school year, being a positive role model for a student. Mentors are matched with one student and build a relationship with that student in the school setting. Click here for more information.
• Lawn Mowing: Get paired up with a client in need of general lawn maintenance and mow their lawn throughout the warm months. Who doesn’t like the smell of freshly cut grass? 
• Non-medical Respite/Caregiver Support: Relieve a live-in caregiver by spending time with their loved one as needed. This is completely non-medical; you just need to be a friendly face!
