About the Program

Our Friendly Visitors program matches frail, isolated older adults with volunteers that provide companionship through weekly visits, phone calls and outings. This program has helped thousands of people find stimulating companionship as well as life long friends. From a tentative first visit, we have watched friendships blossom that have led to both volunteer and older adult developing a deep appreciation of the joys and challenges of aging.

This program is partially funded by Area Agency on Aging and generous individuals, organizations, and businesses in the community.
