Being a Compeer volunteer is as easy as being a friend
Have you ever received a phone call from a friend that just made your spirits lift or a dark day a little brighter? That’s the gift you can give to one of our clients.
Compeer Calling is a great opportunity for a caring volunteer to make a difference in someone's life from the comfort of your home.
Volunteers make a 15 minute phone call each week to someone who is isolated, lonely, and suffering from depression.
The gift of your friendship is only a phone call away.
