ORGANIZATION: Lutheran Social Service of MN

Make a difference in the life of an older adult, meet new people, have fun in the community and enable another to do the same! Neighbor to Neighbor Companions support older adults who need a little extra help to continue living at home, stay healthy and remain as independent as possible.

***During these times of Covid-19, the need for connection and meaningful friendship is greater than ever. We are not providing seniors with in-home visits, rather through phone and virtual reassurance. Please join in helping reach out to seniors during this time and transition to in-home visits with us when we are all able.***

  • No experience or diploma required - we’ll provide all necessary training
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Older adult and companion are carefully matched based on individual needs and interests
  • Must be 18+ years old to volunteer

We look forward to partnering with you, as the life you change just might be your own.
