News & Events

Executive Director Ruth gave a presentation to the Kiwanis Club of Wausau this week. What a great group of gentlemen!

The Kiwanis Club is a group of community-minded individuals who serve our community in many ways.  Their ranks include parents, professionals, and retirees.  Their primary focus is serving local children as well as children around the world.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about Faith in Action of Marathon County and how we serve seniors in our wonderful community.

If you would be interested in a presentation, please call our office. We love meeting new people and spreading awareness of our organization.

In January, Cloverbelt Credit Union held a water wellness challenge to promote healthy habits. Their staff members who met the week-long water drinking goal received a prize of having a donation made to a local nonprofit organization.

Faith in Action of Marathon County is thankful and blessed to have received one of the donations. Thank you Cloverbelt and staff!

Due to the inclement weather today, March 5th, all FIAMC Transportation Services are canceled, and our office is closed.

FIAMC staff will be working from home. Should you need to reach us, please email or call our regular office number and leave a voicemail. A staff member will get back to you as soon as possible.

If you are scheduled to provide a ride, please call your Care Receiver to let them know you will not be able to provide transportation due to the weather. If they do not answer, please leave them a voicemail and let them know they can call our office with any questions and to reschedule their transportation need.

*When the Wausau School District is closed, our office will also be closed, and all transportation services will be canceled.*

Stay safe and warm!
