Opportunity Details
Friendly Visitor Program
FREED is excited to begin to open up our Friendly Visitor program again and we are welcoming volunteers to connect with older adults and people with disabilities in our community who are experiencing social isolation. For many, this was the norm before COVID, but pandemic restrictions have created additional challenges, and we can all appreciate the importance of connecting more than ever.
If you'd like to help there are two options:
~ Friendly Visitors meet up in person, usually for an hour each week, to share an activity at the person's home or in the community if restrictions permit. All in person visitors must be fully COVID vaccinated, and we ask that you wear masks and observe physical distancing as much as possible.
~ Phone Reassurance callers contact 6-8 people by phone once per week for a brief check in and sometimes a longer conversation. Calls can be made from your home, and generally happen on weekdays during business hours.
Both these programs can make a huge difference in the lives of our more isolated neighbors.
The application process requires a criminal background check and three character references. You will receive orientation and ongoing monthly training as well as being a part of a larger volunteer group who support each other as needed.
