Be a Phone Companion to an Older Minnesotan!

Be a Phone Companion to an Older Minnesotan!

If you are a talker and connecting one-to-one with an older adult for ongoing meaningful phone friendship appeals to you, let us pair you with an older Minnesotan looking for companionship and connection!

In today's world, our older adult friends may find the phone ringing less frequently than they'd prefer. Yet, phone friendships offer the wonderful anticipation of an awaited call, stimulating conversations, and the profound joy of deepening connections. You have the power to become the kind voice on the other end of the line, ensuring that every older adult feels valued and cared for. Let's nurture enriching relationships, one call at a time.

Time commitment: To be determined by you and your new phone companion. Most phone companions talk weekly for 20-60 minutes.
