This program is designed in partnership with interfaith, non-profit and business communities to enhance the quality of life for persons 60 years and older who reside in Westmoreland, Fayette and Armstrong Counties by providing companionship and volunteer assistance.

Over the past three years, United Way of Westmoreland County has launched four new sites within the service area. United Way's four new sites cover communities from Scottdale to Lower Burrell. In addition to these new sites, the Latrobe and Connellsville area have the oldest independent programs in our area.

The Faith in Action programs help the elderly and frail remain longer in their homes and thus avoid the expense of moving to a nursing home sooner. For the price of covering two individuals in a nursing home for a year, Faith-in-Action can serve over 200 individuals annually.
