Carroll County
Neighbors Helping Neighbors
In 2005, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation awarded
a
Faith in Action grant to the Partnership for a
Healthier Carroll County, Inc., to fund Carroll
County Neighbors Helping Neighbors. The focus of
this new program is to foster caring relationships
between volunteers of all faiths and their neighbors
with long-term health needs.
The grant was awarded as a part of the Foundation’s
commitment to expand its national interfaith
volunteer care giving program,
Faith in Action. Currently, the
Faith in Action network consists of hundreds of
programs nationwide.
Carroll County Neighbors Helping Neighbors will
provide a range of volunteer services to residents
with long-term health needs, including:
telephone/e-mail reassurance, friendly visits, light
household chores/repairs, transportation, and
link/referral services.
Contact

organizations and individuals who are interested in
volunteer service are strongly encouraged to contact
us. Also, financial support for this volunteer
service program is being sought to ensure its
long-term stability.
