Help a homebound elder become less lonely and isolated by becoming a Phone-A-Friend. Bilingual volunteers needed. Phone-A-Friend volunteers provide a social connection and wellness checks for homebound, low-income seniors. Volunteers are assigned to one or more homebound seniors to make calls on a

regularly scheduled basis . Services are offered 7 days a week, excluding holidays, between 9:00 am and 9:00 pm. Volunteers contact their assigned seniors on the mutually agreed upon schedule to make sure that the seniors are able to answer the phone; to provide telephone social support to help prevent isolation and reduce loneliness; and conduct wellness checks. The program helps seniors maintain their independence and ability to live at home and reduces social isolation and loneliness. 07/15/25
