Brighten a homebound seniors day!
The Friendly Visitor Program provides companionship to homebound elderly seniors. The program provides these seniors with a "friendly visitor" who will not only provide friendship and companionship to them, but may also assist in day to day activities such as grocery shopping, simple chores around the house, reading mail, and other small errands, at the volunteers discretion.
Volunteers will have to make contact with their visitor at least once a week at their convenience. This could include a visit or a phone call. If volunteers are willing they could help their clients with small errands such as grocery shopping, simple chores around the home, assisting them with their mail etc.
Terms: Volunteer must be at least 55 years of age
