Walk of Faith
When: Sunday, September 18, 2011
Walkers of all ages and their dogs step out on behalf of Faith in Action at the Walk of Faith every year. Walk of Faith is for everyone, from babies in stroller to families and groups to individuals in wheelchairs. Family dogs are welcomed to participate, as they are great companions and often caregivers, too.
Pre-registration is encouraged. Registration forms will be available at area churches and at the hospital information desk. You can also download the Walk of Faith Registration Form .
In the course of a lifetime, nearly everyone will find themselves providing some form of physical or emotional care to a friend or family member. Respite care gives the weary caregiver "time off" for personal time and energy renewal.
Faith in Action volunteers offer hope, support, and friendship to the frail and elderly and people of all ages who battle chronic illness, mental illness, and disabilities through: in-home respite care, friendly visiting, house work, yard work, and minor home repairs.
Faith in Action also operates Wellspring, an adult respite day care center that offers an affordable "day away" for caregivers 8 days per month at various Tillamook churches.
