Friendly Visitor

Westmount

We're recruiting volutneers for our Friendly Visitor Program. Friendly visits help break the feelings of isolation felt by many seniors, especially in those for whom mobility is a problem. We match isolated seniors with volunteers for a visit every week. Volunteers will meet with a senior in their home, catch up over a cup of tea, help out with a chore, and generally get to know each other. We hope that this is a mutually beneficial relationship in which both people might learn from the experiences of the other and enjoy each other’s company.
