Friendly Social CallerAt — Meals on Wheels San Francisco

Opportunity Summary 

Be matched with a senior to call and check in on them on a weekly basis to help lessen isolation and create a meaningful friendship over the phone. Many of our clients are isolated and lonely and would appreciate someone to call them regularly each week to converse about topics of interest to both the client and volunteer plus check in on their well-being. This volunteer opportunity is virtual. As a Friendly Social Call volunteer, you will schedule the calls directly with the client based on the best time that works for both parties. Calls typically last 15-30 mins but may go longer if desired.
