QCH with tagline

Queens Community House is recruiting volunteers for our Friendly Visiting program, a program that matches home bound older adults with volunteers for weekly visiting to help create a mutual relationship and help reduce isolation and loneliness among seniors with impaired mobility.

Our client would love a female visitor with an interest in discussing books, music, television, art, or sports and would enjoy playing board games or card games together. Scrabble and Yellowstone are her favorties, so if you have an hour to spare weekly, we'd love to meet you!
