Lifetime Connections Without Walls is building a community over the phone. The program is free and is open to anyone over the age of 55!
Older adults can join from the comfort of their home, using their own telephone. Our goal is to alleviate social isolation and loneliness. We provide social activities over the phone and bridge distances separating our older adults. If you know a neighbor or family member who may be interested in being part of the phone community have them contact us.
The program is not possible without our great volunteers; check out the volunteer opportunities listed below.
Volunteer without leaving your home or workplace:
