IVC is a coalition of congregations of all faiths and social services in Shelton, Ansonia, Derby, Seymour, Beacon Falls, and Oxford. IVC is committed to a ministry of caring for individuals who are isolated, frail, disabled, or elderly.

IVC may help with friendly visits, telephone reassurance, help with shopping, errands, and chores, transportation and escort to medical appointments, stores, and worship, yard work and minor repairs, and light housekeeping.

Volunteers are neighbors helping neighbors putting Faith in Action, and are generous, caring people of all ages with a genuine concern for older or disabled individuals. Members are asked to attend meetings and be involved in fund raising activities.

Individuals themselves, caregivers, families, friends, neighbors, congregations, or health and service agencies may request services. There is no charge for services, and each request is evaluated for appropriateness.
