We are continuing to visit our top ride destinations and stopped by Christie Clinic Medical Hills to say thank you for all they do for our care receivers!

We can't wait to be part of the Kobe Revolving Sushi Bar Gives Back on 11/17! A portion of the sales will be given to Faith in Action! We hope to see you there!

This Veterans Day, Faith in Action extends our heartfelt gratitude to all the brave men and women who have served our country. Your courage, sacrifice, and dedication have helped protect the freedoms we cherish.

We are especially grateful for the veterans in our Faith in Action family—our volunteers and care receivers. Your service has made a lasting difference, and we are honored to know you.

We honored our veterans and their legacy of service in our 2026 video. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/b2vg8Wqb1rU

Today and every day, we thank you for your service. We are forever grateful!

Our director Darla, had a great time judging the annual chili cook-off at Sugar Creek Memory Care last week! Congratulations to the winners and all the participants for cooking up some delicious chillis!

Bloomington-Normal has been recognized as a dementia friendly community! We are so proud of this accomplishment and building a community that is more accessible and welcoming to older adults.

Our director Darla was part of the taskforce and shared this: "Being a member of the Dementia Friends Taskforce is deeply meaningful to me. Throughout the years, I have had the privilege of interacting with many individuals living with dementia, which has given me firsthand insight into the challenges and frustrations they often experience. Our taskforce is dedicated to providing education and training throughout the community, helping people better understand dementia and learn respectful, supportive ways to interact with those affected.

Our hearts are full of gratitude for all of our sponsors! We loved visiting Wilber and bringing some of their staff t-shirts!

We have had over 40 care receivers request to have their yard raked this fall! Do you have a group that can help? It can be on the weekend, or you can arrange a special date/time to go. Want to sign up? Email Stacey at [email protected]!

Save the date! Join us at Kobe Revolving Sushi Bar on Tuesday November 17th to benefit Faith in Action!

We are filling our gratitude jar this month! We are starting with gratitude for our amazing volunteers!

Faith in Action wouldn’t be what it is today without our volunteers. Every ride, friendly visit, grocery trip, and helping hand makes a meaningful difference in the lives of local older adults.

Our volunteers give more than their time—they give compassion, friendship, independence, and peace of mind. Their generosity helps older adults feel valued, supported, and connected to our community. We couldn't accomplish our mission without them!

To every Faith in Action volunteer, thank you for sharing your time and heart. We are truly grateful for YOU!
