Faith in Action Anniversary Volunteer highlights Steve Boggie

   In honor of its 20th Anniversary, Faith in Action for Cass County is highlighting volunteers several times a month throughout 2021. Volunteers are celebrated and recognized for their services and awarded $20 gas cards and other prizes.

   Steve Boggie of Hackensack became a volunteer with Faith in Action in October of 2019. Since that time Boggie has provided over 400 hours of meal deliver and rides, helping 51 people (he was surprised he has helped so many). Boggie began volunteering after he needed a ride himself following an ambulance trip to the hospital. “After learning about Faith in Action, I decided to help as a way to pay it forward,” stated Boggie.

   When asked about his favorite part of volunteering, Boggie said “I enjoy meeting different people and it’s a good way to learn the area. Faith in Action is a good thing, especially up here with no buses or taxis. People are isolated and Faith in Action can help.”  As a thank you, Boggie received a $20 gas card. 

   A locally supported, nonprofit organization, Faith in Action for Cass County coordinates volunteers who provide free nonmedical, neighborly assistance to seniors, the disabled, and people in need throughout Cass County. Faith in Action volunteers help with transportation, friendly visiting, respite for caregivers, light homemaking and chores, and basic home repair, and they build accessibility ramps. Volunteers receive much more than scheduling coordination and recognition. They know they can make a difference in their communities through Faith in Action.

Previous Faith in Action volunteer highlights and volunteer and client videos are also available for viewing on the website on the 20th Anniversary page. Faith in Action is “20 Years of Neighbors Helping Neighbors” and still going strong.
