I Care News Inter fa i th Caregivers of Polk County

Coordinating volunteers to help seniors and adults

with disabilities maintain their independence

I nterfaith Caregivers is honored to be able to serve veterans of “The Greatest Generation.”

We recently had a request to help a 92 yr-old man who needs rides twice a month to the American Legion and the VFW. He’s their chaplain. It’s his duty to lead the Pledge of Allegiance and prayer before their meetings.

We matched him with a volunteer who works during the day and was available to take him in the evenings. We also added another vet who, prior to contacting us, was unable to attend the regular meetings without a ride. Our volunteer is happy to help both of them get to and from their meetings. Besides needing to get to his

meetings, the chaplain called for a ride to his appointment at the VA in Rice Lake. Of course, the biggest snow storm of the year came the evening before his appointment. Our volunteer barely made it out of her driveway at the start. But she

was able to safely navigate her way to Rice Lake without incident.

The chaplain called our office later and shared that he was so glad to have gotten to his appointment. He complimented his volunteer on her safe

driving. He’d really needed to get that shot in his knee; that he felt much better. And, they stopped at the Norske Nook for lunch and a delightful visit.

And thanks to his driver, Mary, for her courage to weather the storm and share a meal with a local hero.

Mail Bag your cheerful volunteers lending a

hand gives them peace of mind. ...We

want to support the good work you

are doing and we want you to know

that your efforts are appreciated,

not only by our parents, but also by

our entire family.” ~ Client’s Family

“Here is just a small token of appre-

ciation for all that you do to help

those in need in our community. We

truly appreciate the care and con-

cern that you give.” ~ Church Group

”My family and I wanted to

express our gratitude for the

help you have been providing

for our parents...in St Croix

Falls. Although they are able to

live independently for now,

there are certain jobs around

the house which they are not

physically able to do. Having

BRING IT TO THE BALLOT....

Wisconsin now requires a Photo ID to vote.

There are many forms of Photo ID, which you may already have, that can be used to vote. Anyone with a valid Wisconsin driver's license or Wisconsin State ID card, already has the photo ID they need for voting purposes.

If you don’t know if you have the proper ID to vote, contact your local municipal clerk or county clerk for a complete list of qualified photo ID documents. Or ask for instructions on how to get a free State ID card from the Wisc. Department of Motor Vehicles.

Remember - If you need a ride to get an ID card or to vote in Polk County, please call Interfaith Caregivers as soon as possible.

Are you part of a group, family, church or

organization that wants to help? We arrange for raking and bagging leaves, cleaning first

story gutters, washing outside windows, simple

painting, pruning gardens,

moving lawn furniture, fixing

a fence and other small jobs.

Call soon so we can match a

neighbor to your group.

Volunteer News

“Interfaith is such a wonderful service

for many people and I am very glad to

be a small part of it.” ~Volunteer

Here is the story our volunteer shared:

“So looking at the stain glass window of the

sun going down/going up...it reminded me of

the question of the cup being half empty or half

full? For us, most of the time the cup is half full,

but sometimes feel it is half empty. So it was

with the sun going down, we recognized our

decline and looked forward to that day when

the new life will rise.

However, for now, being a part of the Care-

givers volunteer family has given us the focus on

and the joy of the sun rising... maybe, maybe we

are helping make someone else's life a little

easier … isn't that the focus of what Interfaith

Caregivers is about… I think so…”
