Valley
Interfaith Caregivers, a Faith in Action program, is a network of trained
volunteers who provide support services and companionship to elderly and
disabled residents living in the six towns of lower Naugatuck valley. Towns in
our service area include Ansonia, Derby, Shelton, Seymour, Oxford, and Beacon
Falls, CT. Services that are provided include friendly visiting; medical
transportation; shopping; light housework; help with paperwork; and referral
to additional community resources and services. All services are provided free
of charge to the recipients. Our mission is to help fill the unmet needs of
these individuals, allowing them to remain independent and in their own homes
as long as possible and avoid institutional care. Our program is supported by
15 member congregations in the region, both financially and through their
volunteers.
