Be a Phone Companion to an Older Minnesotan!

Be a Phone Companion to an Older Minnesotan!

If you enjoy one‑on‑one conversations and want to build a meaningful, ongoing phone friendship with an older adult, we’d love to match you with a 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 15 minutes to an hour
