Spend time with community members in need of companionship by becoming a Friendly Visitor! Friendly Visitors will be matched with individuals who are looking for company. Whether it's forged playing games, working on arts and crafts projects, sharing a meal, or just chatting, the bond between Friendly Visitors and their companions can make a big difference in both lives. In certain circumstances, this can be a great opportunity for families to volunteer together. Email Avery at afriend@mainejewish.org for full position description.
