Interfaith Caregivers of Polk County (ICPC) connects seniors and adults with disabilities to volunteers and services supporting independence and quality of life.

 

     We began as an idea in 1992 out of a visionary need to "fill the gaps" where other services weren't able to service specific needs of seniors and disabled adults in Polk County, Wisconsin. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation awarded a $25,000 grant, which created Interfaith Caregivers of Polk County - a volunteer caregiving organization.

​

     The humble beginnings in 1995 saw many hands and minds helping, guiding, and volunteering to service the needs of our neighbors. Churches, business people, school teachers, nurses, farmers, and professionals from all areas volunteered their time, knowledge, and energy to serve on the board, volunteer, and advise Interfaith on best ways to serve the needs of our neighbors.  ​

​

     Today, we help with a variety of services from a ride to an appointment to a phone call to check in on a neighbor. We are fueled by a volunteer group made up of neighbors from our community. They are members of churches, local organizations, and schools, or individuals who just want to be a neighbor helping another neighbor. We receive no government funding.
