Brighten the day of one of your homebound older neighbors with a weekly phone call!
Our Social Call program will match volunteers with lonely and isolated older New Yorkers in need of social contact based on similar interests. By talking for up to an hour each week, the pair will build a rapport and genuine friendship over time. Volunteers must be at least 18+ to participate.
We are seeking volunteers who are compassionate, good listeners and who are eager to build a friendship via phone calls. This is a fully remote program with a commitment of at least one hour a week for six months. Training and ongoing support will be provided to all volunteers. This is a fantastic opportunity to be a friend to someone in need and make a positive contribution to your community! For more information and next steps please contact Jessica Stone at jstone@citymeals.org.
Thank you!
