Stay Connected
As we continue social distancing for public safety, this has created added challenges for older adults to access the programs and connections they want and need. Stay Connected is here to help.
The Stay Connected Program is a remote connectivity program for local seniors designed to be an ongoing person-to-person engagement over the phone. This engagement is mainly through providing a friendly, social call and sharing community resources. The program strives to connect you with a senior who may share similar interests as you in order to provide a lasting connection. We welcome you to be a part of a program that engages older adults in our community and makes a lasting connection in their lives and yours!
Check out the connection resources we can provide below.
Get Matched with a Friendly Peer
We can match you with a friendly peer for ongoing calls to help you stay connected with the resources you want and need. You get to choose when and how often you want to connect. As you build a relationship with your volunteer caller, they can help you navigate the resources that might be most helpful to you including grocery support, learning new technology from home, or making new connections while stuck at home. Our knowledgeable volunteers are here to provide patience and a friendly voice to help you manage the challenges so many are facing this year.
