Who We Are

We provide essential support and resources to older adults and adults with disabilities, caregivers, and offer grief support to those in need. Our mission is to connect neighbors facing challenges related to aging, disability, or adversity with volunteers and resources to support independent and fulfilling lives.

From companionship to practical assistance, we offer a range of services designed to promote dignity, health, and well-being for all our participants. Whether it's through our volunteer program, resources for caregivers, or support services for those in need, IVC is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of our neighbors.

Volunteer Services

Our volunteers are the heart of IVC, serving with open hearts and a desire to give back to their community. They often become a constant presence in the lives of our Care Receivers, providing companionship, support, and a sense of connection. Whether it's through regular visits, transportation services, or assistance with daily tasks, our volunteers help ensure that those in need feel seen, heard, and valued.

Care Receivers

Our Care Receivers are a delightfully diverse group of ages, interests, needs, and capabilities. We serve seniors who desire to maintain their independent living situations, as well as those with short or long-term special needs. Many are no longer able to drive and need transportation services, while others require temporary assistance. Through our programs, we strive to meet the unique needs of each individual, promoting dignity, health, and well-being in all aspects of life.
