    The mission of Jewish Family Services of Washtenaw County is to create solutions, promote dignity, and inspire humanity. Despite a misconception that no one is hungry in Washtenaw County, the rising cost of living in the area has created a high percentage of working people who live on the edge of poverty. No one should have to decide between nutritious food and paying bills such as medicine and rent. Marginalized groups and older adults are disproportionately the ones facing these challenges. Nourish Nutrition Services, powered by JFS helps bridge the gap for our neighbors in need.

    As a Comfort Call Volunteer, you will make phone calls to older adults. Calls are needed to provide conversation and companionship to older adults.

    This is a virtual role and does not require any in-person contact. Average hours required are 10 per week. Volunteers may sign up for shifts that meet their schedules.

    Hours of operation are:

    Monday - Thursday 9am - 5pm

    Friday - 9am - 3 pm
