Interfaith Caregivers of Polk County

Who We Are 

     For more than 30 years, Interfaith Caregivers of Polk County has been a steady presence of compassion in our community. What began as a small, community-rooted effort to support local seniors has grown into a countywide network of more than 150 dedicated volunteers serving older adults and adults with disabilities. While we’ve grown over the decades, the heart of our mission remains the same: neighbors helping neighbors.

     Interfaith Caregivers connects seniors and adults with disabilities to volunteers and services supporting independence and quality of life. These essential services are provided at no cost. Through services like transportation to medical appointments, grocery delivery, friendly visits, caregiver respite, and help with errands, we make it possible for people to remain independent, safe, and connected in the homes and communities they love.

     For many of our neighbors, a simple ride to the doctor or a monthly grocery delivery isn’t just convenient — it’s life-changing. It means access to healthcare. It means nutritious meals. It means less isolation. It means dignity.

Services We Provide

Why It Matters

     Many seniors and adults with disabilities in rural Polk County face barriers like limited transportation options, long distances to services, and social isolation. Without support, everyday tasks can become overwhelming and even impossible.

     Your support helps ensure that no one in our community has to navigate those challenges alone.

     Every donation directly supports the coordination of volunteers, program operations, and the infrastructure that keeps this network of care running smoothly. Because of generous donors like you, our services remain at no cost to those who need them most.

When you give to Interfaith Caregivers, you are:

• Helping a senior get to a critical medical appointment

• Ensuring groceries are delivered to someone who can’t leave home

• Providing companionship to someone who might otherwise feel alone

• Strengthening the fabric of our rural community

No gift is too small. Every dollar helps us continue the tradition of neighbors helping neighbors.
