The Visiting Volunteers Program supports volunteers who promote social connectedness through friendly visits to older adults and persons with disabilities with disabilities who are experiencing isolation and loneliness in the Greater Richmond Area. Our staff and volunteers correspond by mail with our participants and volunteers every month. Why, you may ask - because everyone loves getting a card in the mail. It can really brighten someone's day.
Grab your friends, your Girl Scouts, your class or co-workers and make cards! We especially need birthday, get well, thank you and thinking of you cards! Our staff and volunteers will use your cards to brighten the day of our participants and thank our volunteers. Please contact us before making your cards, though. We do have a few guidelines that will help ensure that we are able to use the cards you so thoughtfully create.

Description
Our programs are diverse and span the life course, but at the heart of our work is our presence in the home and our dedication to supporting strong, dynamic households that withstand life’s challenges, whether they be everyday or extraordinary.
Family Lifeline’s Living Well programming for older adults, persons with disabilities and their caregivers strives to help individuals remain living well in community settings of their choosing where they feel safe, connected, healthy, and engaged.
Our Visiting Volunteers Telephone Reassurance program is Family Lifeline’s signature volunteer opportunity. With this program, we strive to meet the social and emotional needs of some of the community’s most vulnerable population - older adults and persons with disabilities. We want to increase the opportunity for people to remain in their homes for as long as possible by reducing loneliness and isolation.
Volunteers provide our program participants with companionship, outreach, and advocacy. Volunteers commit to weekly visits and/or telephone calls for a year. Dates and times are up to you and your friend. Volunteers receive formal training focusing on person centered engagement and sensitivity to the needs of individuals facing difficult life circumstances (e.g., health issues, grief, etc.).
