Driving Independence for Older Adults – Volunteers Needed

Posted by Interfaith Community Partners on Sunday, January 26, 2020

Mission Statement: Interfaith Community Partners is a non-profit organization that works together with volunteers to provide rides to older adults in the Lyons Township, south Proviso, and Riverside townships. Over 115 volunteers provide accompanied transportation to medical appointments, and life-enhancing errands such as the grocery store, hairdresser, bank, and church.

About the Services we offer for older adults/volunteers

Accompanied Transportation

ICP clients can schedule rides for appointments, therapy, the hairdresser, church, the bank, the grocery store, and other life-enhancing errands.

Volunteers drive older adults to and from appointments as needed. We background check and train our drivers. We act like clients’ family when the family cannot be there.

Friendly Visitation

ICP clients can sign up for visits from volunteers. Volunteers meet with our Care Partners in their home or retirement facility once to twice monthly for up to one hour. Sometimes a visit is for conversation, a friendly face to share a cup of coffee or tea, or to read the local news.

Phone Check-Ins

ICP clients can sign up to have a phone call check-in with one of our volunteers. Volunteers make scheduled phone calls to clients just to check in and see if they have any needs or concerns. Sometimes, all it takes is fifteen minutes to brighten someone’s day.

Petal Pushers

Petal Pushers give flowers to ICP clients for various holidays, events and birthdays at no cost to the ICP clients. Petal Pusher volunteers take gently used flowers and arrange them into small vases to be delivered to clients and business partners. This occurs on the first and third Thursday at 9:30 am at the ICP Office.
