In 2021, Interfaith’s programs helped over 1500 community members. We provided over 8,000 rides to medical appointments and other essential services, volunteers donated 1000’s of hours helping with things like spring and fall yard clean-up, lawn mowing, snow shoveling, Kindness Crew visits, and meals, Helping Hand services, Kindness Calls, Canine Caregiver, and companionship visits.
Interfaith’s all-volunteer h.e.l.p. Corner, with locations in West Bend and Hartford, loaned over 1,800 pieces of durable medical equipment. Through a collaboration with Full Shelf Food Pantry, Interfaith Caregivers ensured that anyone in Washington Co. without transportation had food delivered to them monthly.

Funds raised will be used to support the purchase of two partially grant-funded wheelchair mini-vans, along with expenses of our 10-vehicle fleet.
These vans provide a critical transportation service for Washington County seniors 60 and older with limited means and/or mobility.
Interfaith’s vans put on thousands of miles every year to essential healthcare services both in and out of Washington County. Our volunteers are making trips every day to the VA Hospital, St. Luke’s, Froedtert Medical Campus, and many more essential destinations.
Thank you to our sponsors and our many Friends of Interfaith, Celebrity Waiters, silent auction donors, Interfaith’s Board of Directors, and Oktoberfest Committee. This generous community all helped make our day a huge success for seniors in Washington Co.
Thank you, Washington Co., your Oktoberfest ’22 generosity will allow us to provide much *Gemutlichkeit for our seniors.
*Gemutlichkeit “a state of warmth, friendliness, and good cheer, a sense of well-being and belonging.”
