Interfaith Caregivers of Greater Mercer County is a nonprofit organization in the individual and family services sector that mobilizes volunteers to support homebound elderly individuals and people with disabilities in Mercer County, New Jersey. Founded in 1994, the group partners with a coalition of interdenominational congregations to offer free, non-medical assistance such as transportation, shopping, light housekeeping, friendly visiting, and home-related tasks, enabling recipients to live independently in their homes. The organization focuses on dignity and independence for those it serves, providing services without regard to race, religion, income, or national origin, and without proselytizing. In addition to direct help, it conducts social and educational programs for seniors and caregivers, including workshops on caregiving topics, stress relief, and dementia-related concerns, supported by a large contingent of volunteers. A recent community event notes activity around a Walk for Wellness planned for a local park, reflecting ongoing community engagement and outreach.
