ORGANIZATION: Wilshire Community Services

Caring Caller volunteers build friendships and connection to their community by visiting with an isolated older adult for one hour every week. Some pairs play games, take short walks, enjoy discussing books, go out to lunch, create art, or tell stories depending on their unique interests and skills. Many matches last a lifetime. Training and on-going support is available from friendly, knowledgeable program staff.
