Friendly Visitor/Friendly Caller/Friendly Shopper

*Please note that these programs are in the rebuilding phase due to COVID-19.  We hope to have these programs available to residents in the near future.  If you’re interested in volunteering, please call us at (860) 668-1986.*

Volunteers are matched with homebound residents for purposes of weekly shopping and/or visitation. The mission of these programs is to help promote independence, improve quality of life and the personal well-being of isolated and homebound elders or persons with disabilities who are susceptible to loneliness, depression and/or self-neglect. The volunteer’s responsibilities include making regular (weekly or bi-weekly) home visits, calling in to check-up or performing shopping tasks.

Volunteers are matched up with a Suffield resident who requests either the Friendly Visitor or Friendly Shopper assistance. The volunteer’s responsibilities include making regular (weekly or bi-weekly) home visits, calling in to check-up or performing shopping tasks.
