The program links trained volunteers, known as "Friendly Visitors," with frail and/or socially isolated persons fifty years of age or older. In addition to friendship, each volunteer provides a variety of services that greatly enhance the quality of their friend's life. The relationship is unique and as rewarding for the volunteer as it is for the senior.
