WHEREAS, Faith in Action Georgetown consists of volunteers from sponsoring
congregations and the greater Georgetown community who provide transportation, errands, care

seniors in our community last year and allows them to maximize their abilities and live

to full time experiencing an exponential growth of 55% increase in rides and 23% increase in
older adults; and

offer group trips to the grocery with a new van program; and

on this extraordinary recognition; and

and ribbon cutting on May 8, 2018.
