    Description

    Friendly Visiting

    Friendly Visiting

    Friendly Visitors are matched with a homebound older adult to meet with in their home weekly. Volunteers provide conversation, companionship, and socialization opportunities.

    Volunteers must submit to a background check. The program commitment is 1 hour once a week and the schedule of meetings is flexible. Volunteers are expected to report their hours monthly through the JFSMW Volunteer Tracking system and submit an update of the visit to the program coordinator via our app.

    This program covers Essex and surrounding counties, but we have the most need for female volunteers to visit homebound women in Essex County.

    For more information contact Kathy Mikula at kmikula@jfsmetrowest.org or 973-637-1726.
