COVID-19 has further isolated older adults in our communities, you can make a difference from the safety & comfort of your own home!

Social Call volunteers visit with a local older adult weekly for social visits. Volunteers provide companionship, a listening ear, and their company. Who you are paired with is based on location, availability, and shared interests. Social Call volunteers find that making a visit to an older adult in their community is quite rewarding and many develop long-term friendships with the older adult they are paired with.

During COVID-19 affected times, all visits will be virtual. Visits will be conducted over the phone, or with video calls for those older adults who have access. We will transition to in-person visits when the pandemic has passed.

Social Call volunteers:

• Receive training and ongoing support
• Are matched with an adult 60 years or older
• Visit with their match for an hour each week for 6 months or longer

Volunteer training scheduled regularly.

Bilingual volunteers strongly encouraged to apply! All adults aged 18 yrs and older welcome to apply.
