RSVP offers A Friendly Outreach for Care Receivers
Do you ever feel bored? Do you frequently feel lonely? Do you miss a departed love one? You may benefit from a Telephone Reassurance Program. If you are a care receiver and if you could use further connection with the outside world we can offer a viable solution. Screened and trained volunteers make phone calls to seniors (and to permanently disabled individuals) who request this free outreach service. Basically, these telephone contacts offer "one-on-one" cheery chats.
