Help alleviate the loneliness crisis in just one hour per week!

As we age, our circle of family and friends can shrink due to aging and loss, or because of limitations in our ability to get out and about. Friendly Visitor volunteers provide one-on-one companionship via phone, virtually or in person. Engage in conversation, share stories, interests, hobbies, and make a real difference in the life of a member of your community! To learn more visit www.springwell.com/volunteer or email volunteer@springwell.com.

Towns served include Belmont, Brookline, Needham, Newton, Waltham, Watertown, Wellesley, and Weston.
