Do you know someone who needs a friend? WE DO!!!
More than 75% of senior LGBT folks live alone. Some have no family around, nor do they have regular social opportunities. This is where YOU come in!
Take 2 hours a week of your idle time and bring new meaning to someone else's life. Take a walk, watch TV, have a Scrabble game, do lunch. Your own mind is the only limit on the horizon. We will match you with an LGBT senior with similar interests to yours. You both will develop your own visitation schedule, meetings, etc.
The wealth of knowledge, experience, and skills in our senior LGBT population will be at your disposal. You will be amazed when you discover that not only are you helping someone, but you are helping yourself, too.
