Our elders carry the wisdom, stories, and experiences that have shaped our community. Through regular check-ins and companionship, we hope to ensure that no one in our community feels forgotten or alone.
Elder Companion Program
A Simple Act of Care
The Elder Companion Program pairs volunteers with elders for regular check-ins and conversation. Whether through a phone call, video chat, or occasional visit, these connections help strengthen community bonds and reduce isolation.
Volunteers and participants are thoughtfully matched based on language, preferences, and availability.
How It Works
1. Sign Up
Complete a short form as a participant or volunteer.
2. Get Matched
We’ll pair volunteers and elders based on language, preferences, and availability.
3. Stay Connected
Companions connect regularly through phone calls, video chats, or visits.
Why It Matters
Many elders in our community live far from family, have limited opportunities for social interaction, or simply appreciate having someone check in on them regularly.
A simple conversation can provide comfort, connection, and a sense of belonging.
Looking for a Companion?
This program is open to seniors who would benefit from regular connection and conversation. Family members are also welcome to register a parent, grandparent, or loved one.
Become a Volunteer
A small commitment can make a meaningful difference. Volunteers check in regularly with an elder and help foster connection, belonging, and community.
Please Note: The Elder Companion Program provides social connection and community support. Volunteers are not medical professionals, caregivers, or financial advisors. Participation is voluntary and based on consent.
