Our volunteers strive to foster independence, dignity and well-being for Alameda's homebound neighbors who can benefit from friendship, communication and a caring heart.

Volunteers are matched with interested homebound folks (of all ages). We offer a weekly visit of one to two hours with a focus on friendship and well-being of our recipients. Telephone reassurance is often provided as a way of checking in between visits.

Volunteers are given a background check to insure safety of our recipients, and as a way to protect our volunteers.

Training is provided for volunteers as well as quarterly meetings providing enrichment and opportunities to meet and resource other volunteers.
