The Friendly Visitor Program connects volunteers with homebound JFCS clients with the aim of initiating a meaningful connection for both individuals, and the volunteer will visit the client in-person every week or every other week. We focus on matching volunteers with seniors because seniors are the biggest population in society who experience severe loneliness; many of our clients are in need of socialization and connection with friendly volunteer. Our matches are made very intentionally with a variety of factors in mind – interests, location, personalities, age, etc.
