RESPITE MINISTRY - The St. William Respite Ministry is a group of dedicated volunteers who provide care for homebound persons.  The volunteers have had background checks and training.  They spend a few hours weekly visiting with the homebound person in their home, so that the primary caregiver can have some personal time to use as needed.  There is no charge for this service.  If you could use this type of help, or know of someone who might, or are interested in knowing more about being a volunteer, please call the Respite Ministry number, 239-263-5432.  Many caregivers have found this to be very helpful in difficult and stressful situations. Many volunteers have this work to be very personally rewarding.  Perhaps you might also. Call and find out.
