— Caregiver Interfaith Volunteer Services (CIVS)
Managed by St. John’s Third Age Living, its purpose is to help the elderly who can no longer drive to stay in their homes. Many area churches have a chapter with a coordinator and volunteers. First Presbyterian Church volunteers are Lou VonBehren, Bruce Fenimore, Don Ecklund, Roy and JoAnn Wehrle, and Joan Kroll (coordinator).
Services provided by CIVS include transportation for doctor's visits, grocery shopping, beauty parlor appointments, and funerals. Minor home repair and caregiver relief are also available. Volunteers are screened by St. John's Third Age Living, and there is always a need for willing souls. Contact Joan Kroll at 217.546.0805 to become a caregiver — or to request assistance
And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God. — Micah 6: 8
