About Us

The elderly and home-bound citizens are often the forgotten among us. They are quiet. They are not invisible. They are lonely. They have lived long and sometimes hard years. The volunteers at IVCG strive to give them companionship, recognition, respect, and assistance to lighten up their lives.

What We Do

Elderly persons who need help to continue living happily in their own homes have been served by the Interfaith Volunteer Care Givers of Greater New Haven program since 1984. The program brings people in need into supportive relationships with caring volunteers. Interfaith Volunteer Care Givers helps older men and women remain in their own homes with dignity as long as possible, offers support to families in difficult and demanding circumstances, combats the isolation that is all too prevalent among elderly persons, and works with congregations to develop effective care-giving ministry and outreach to members and non-members to put faith into action.

Who We Are

IVCG is a 501(c)(3) organization which means that it is a non-profit organization to which individuals may make donations that are recognized by the IRS as "charitable gifts" on your tax return.

Our funding comes in the form of contributions from generous individuals and organizations as well as grants from the Agency on Aging of South Central Connecticut and other grant providers.
