Interfaith Volunteers has been providing rides and building ramps for the elderly and disabled in the Brainerd lakes area for more than 20 years.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the organization has expanded its services to offer phone calling and emails to the lonely, homebound, and isolated who may be in need of social contact. Interfaith Volunteers also will deliver groceries, medications, run errands, or help in other ways.
"We are committed to helping people remain living safely and independently at home," the organization reported. "During this time of isolation and loneliness, people in nursing homes and long-term care facilities are especially in need of social interaction. We are here to help. We have volunteers who will make phone calls, send emails, or write letters.
"If you or someone you know is in need of our services, please call Interfaith Volunteers at 218-820-7454. Our volunteers are ready and willing to help!"
