Are you interested in working with the elderly and medically fragile? Our Reassurance Call Program provides residents of our area with daily calls at a scheduled time to check on their welfare and provide a moment of human interaction. This service is provided free of charge. Training for volunteers is 8 hours of classroom and then 4 hours in the office. Once training has been completed, you are free to make these wonderful "Happy Calls" from home. We are a security as well as letting our Seniors living alone know someone cares!

Description
Contact 211is a non-profit, volunteer based helpline ministry serving the northeast TN area since 1978. Contact volunteers provide a non-judgemental listening ear to those who are in crisis, lonely, confused, hurting, or who simply need to bounce some ideas off of someone. Through our 211/Information & Referral Program our volunteers are able to provide callers with information about area agencies and programs to help meet their needs (such as food, shelter, counseling, etc.). We also make daily Reassurance Calls to elderly and medically fragile residents of our area to ensure that they are ok and provide a moment of human interaction each day.
