Description
Many of our older adults who live in their own homes go days without the phone ringing or seeing another face. You can help break this social isolation by providing companionship to an older adult once a week or every other week for 1.5 or 2 hours. With your help, we can increase the number of seniors who have a friendly visit. As a volunteer, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you have touched the life of another.
