About Interfaith Caregivers
Interfaith Caregivers connects seniors and adults with disabilities to volunteers and services supporting independence and quality of life.
This idea was formed with help from the state of Wisconsin and Polk County Aging Department. A taskforce was established with the purpose to find a way to fill the "gaps" in service needs within our community. In 1995, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation awarded the taskforce a $25,000 grant and Interfaith Caregivers was born.
Today, we helps 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.
We are also a proud member of WIFIAN (Wisconsin InterFaith in Action Network).

History of Interfaith
Celebrating 30+ Years!
This is our neighbors helping neighbors story....
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 gave birth to Interfaith Caregivers of Polk County - a volunteer care giving 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.
Over the years, Interfaith's main office has served out of many different locations. In October 2020, we moved to our current location in St. Croix Falls. Interfaith Caregivers is celebrating 30 years of service to our neighbors in Polk County!
