The Neighborhood Friendly Visitor Program provides companionship and friendly support to
homebound elderly persons across the state.
Volunteers visit, read, write letters, and chat with
shut-ins who benefit from regular social contact.
This program welcomes seniors who wish
to volunteer their time for a few hours each week.
Homebound seniors may also call to find out
about getting a visitor.
The Neighborhood Friendly Visitor Program is located at 184 Broad Street, Providence,
RI 02903. Call 421-7833, ext. 4.
Most Retired Senior Volunteer Programs
in Rhode Island also provide opportunities
for friendly visiting activities. (See Page 79).
SAGE/RI (Senior Action in a Gay Environment) helps isolated gay seniors through advocacy,
outreach, and social activities. Call 751-1487.
