In Riverside/ San Bernardino counties we have so many giving and compassionate bi-lingual Spanish speaking people. Often our mono-lingual seniors wait for many months to connect with a volunteer who speaks Spanish. I know you are out there. Please step up to make this commitment.
Our agency is Volunteer Action for Aging, a Community Service division of SCAN Health Plan. We coordinate a Friendly caller program. Our mission is to match caring volunteers with seniors in need of socialization.
This opportunity involves a phone call a week for a min of 30 min. No personal or home care, just an hour per week of getting to know someone new!
This opportunity is a small commitment for a large reward!
Please access our website scan.samaritan.com; click on the Friendly Caller tab to complete an application.
