    Description

    We are Community Agency for Senior Citizens, Inc. (CASC). We have been in Staten Island for over 48years.

    We only serve Older Adults.

    The program is called the Friendly Visiting Program (FVP). The program is celebrating it 5th year. The program began in January/2017.

    We look to "Match" you the Volunteer with an Older Adult. The program asks that you spend one hour per week in the Client's home.

    While visiting the Client, you can have a cup of coffee/tea, play a table top game, cards, read a book together, watch a movie. The visit is what you both decide upon.

    This is a building block relationship. So far, many of our "Match's" have become good friends and look forward to these weekly visits and/or telephone calls.

    Your volunteering brings much happiness to someone who is alone and isolated.

    Know that you will be brightening up someone's day!
