HERE IS WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY:

  • "It meant so much to me to have someone who cares, especially when I lost my wife. The visits were a tremendous help."

  • "It isn’t any fun to be lonely, especially when you get older. The visits give you something to look forward to."

We need you.

Volunteer as a Visitor!

Make a difference by volunteering as a peer visitor today!

When you volunteer, you will make a new friend or two, lift the spirits of an isolated senior, know that you made a difference, and feel a greater sense of purpose. A brief training and monthly support group is available. If you are interested in becoming a peer visitor, please contact the center.

YOU may be the only contact a lonely senior may have!
