Description
Join our Social Connections Program and become a friendly visitor and essential shopper for an hour a week. Volunteer Friendly Visitors provide an important "quality of life" service as regular social contact is proven to improve health and wellbeing. Provide company over the phone or in-person in an effort to reduce social isolation for a local senior, and help with essential shopping, too. We provide support and training, and you make a meaningful connection with a senior friend.
We are a non-profit agency serving the seniors and their families since 1975 in Acton, Arlington, Bedford, Boxborough, Burlington, Carlisle, Concord, Harvard, Lexington, Lincoln, Littleton, Maynard, Stow, Wilmington, Winchester and Woburn.
