This weeks guest, Dick Russell, is a long time friend as well as the director of one of my passion "projects" - Faith-in-Action. I first met Dick in 2005 when I found out about the organization and wanted to help in the cause to keep people in their home for as long as possible. Many people have to move out of their long-term home simply because they could no longer drive, and this organization is helping to combat this.
As you will hear, Dick, and his family, are givers; the true meaning of givers in fact. They have served their communities in so many ways and continue to do so. If you are interested in getting involved in this organization go to http://www.fiasteuben.org/ (http://www.fiasteuben.org/) or call @ (607) 324-1138

WHO WE ARE
At a time when our need to reach out to each other is greatest, Faith in Action Steuben County, an interfaith volunteer care-giving program, stands ready to help in the Steuben County Area. Our trained volunteers provide supportive services to the elderly at no charge.
OUR MISSION
Faith in Action Steuben County is a coalition of congregations, civic groups, and communities united to serve the elderly, assisting them to continue to live independently. We seek to augment, not replace, the individual's existing care structure. This support is provided at no cost to the recipients, by selfless volunteers who give care to people in need.
