Phone buddy volunteers call a matched homebound senior at least weekly. For many seniors, the call from one of Faith in Action's phone buddies may be the only call received. A very simple need but vital need to fulfill.
Time length of a phone reassurance call is minimally 20 minutes. The number of phone calls per week are at the discretion of either the volunteer or the senior.
Volunteers are needed in all 7 cities in Solano County. Volunteers must agree to a background check.
Give the gift of service year-round!
Call (707) 469-6675 to see how you can be of assistance to the homebound elderly in your community. www.faithinactionsolano.org
