Volunteer Opportunities

Many seniors in our community are social and physically isolated. You can make an impact in the life of a vulnerable senior through the Connecting with Seniors Project, overseen by Compassionate Community Care.

This initiative involves heartfelt check-ins via phone or Zoom, allowing seniors aged 55 and older to engage in meaningful conversations with friendly volunteers. This program is about building connections and uplifting spirits in our community. We invite individuals in the community to encourage both seniors and potential volunteers to participate:

For Seniors: Share this opportunity with those who would welcome regular calls. Engaging with a friendly volunteer can provide warmth and connection.

For Volunteers: We are also looking for compassionate volunteers to make these impactful calls.

If you are interested, email or call Suzanne at outreach@beingwith.org or 647-448-8873.
