With more American living longer lives, many face the challenge of caring for a family member, neighbor, or friend who suffers from arthritis, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s, AIDS, or other long-term health conditions.
Faith in Action coalitions bring together religious congregations of many faiths, and other community organizations in a common mission to provide volunteer care to their neighbors in need.
