Preventative measures for COVID-19 are resulting in closures and cancellations of many programs for older adults, increasing social isolation. Battling isolation can be quite challenging, and the impacts are significant - studies show isolation is equivalent to the health impact of smoking 15 cigarettes a day. As you can imagine now is the time we are doubling our efforts to reach out to our most isolated population. Can you help?

Social Call is a free friendly visitor program that matches volunteers with older adults for weekly social visits. You will be thoughtfully matched with a participant who shares similar interests and hobbies. We are looking for compassionate, capable individuals to help out from the comfort of their home to volunteer to give a friendly, 20-30 minute phone call. We bet you'll make a friend!
