Interfaith Volunteer
Caregivers (IVC) of Southwestern PA, a Faith in
Action program is a service of
Family Services of Western
Pennsylvania, which serves the greater Pittsburgh's aging
population. The mission of IVC is to maximize the
independence and overcome the isolation of
the frail elderly in Allegheny County.
IVC recruits volunteers from the community
at large and through its network of 48
diverse religious congregations throughout
Allegheny County. Volunteers provide
critical in-home, non-medical services that
assist frail seniors with the tasks of daily
living. IVC recruits, trains, mobilizes and
supports these volunteers and enables frail
older adults to remain independent in their
own homes. Currently, 450+ volunteers are
active in the IVC program, providing service
to nearly 1,000 older adults each year.
Please call the IVC office at (412)345-7420 or

Our regular office
hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00
p.m. If you leave a voice message, we will
return your call as soon as possible.
