We are a dedicated corps of trained volunteers and professional staff providing vital support and assistance in the Greater Issaquah and Sammamish communities to Seniors facing the challenges of aging.

Description:
Through our core values of Compassion, Excellence, Integrity and Dignity, Faith in Action creates a community-based network of trained volunteers who provide practical value-added assistance, education, referral and support for seniors facing the challenges of aging in the Greater Issaquah and Sammamish communities. We create opportunities to help people remain independent in their communities and, in the process, maintain their sense of dignity and worth. We help with transportation needs, housekeeping, simple home maintenance, yard work, errands, meal preparation, and companionship. Our services are available to everyone, regardless of income. While many of our volunteers come from area congregations, you do not have to be of any particular religion to volunteer or receive services.

History:
Our agency was founded in 1998 with the help of the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation, and is one of hundreds of other Faith in Action agencies that exist nation-wide. We are currently serving over 165 people and have served a total of over 470.
