I have an older adults in Maspeth, Middle Village, and Jackson Heights who needs someone to regularly visit and chat with them.
Friendly Visitors are volunteers who visit homebound seniors for about an hour each week in their homes.
Volunteers reduce feelings of isolation, and help improve seniors' mental and physical health. Seniors are able to stay in their homes and communities longer. Volunteers can dramatically improve the quality of a seniors' life.
