Friendly Calls
Friendly Calls
Transportation Program
As part of our Connecting Communities mandate, we match volunteers with anyone who may be feeling lonely, isolated or would simply like to engage in friendly conversation over the phone. Our Friendly Call program brings compassionate conversation into the lives of participants while giving volunteers an opportunity to listen and learn.
Friendly Call participants and a volunteer are matched for one-on-one, weekly friendly calls. Matches are thoughtfully made based on mutual interests and hobbies, so it’s quite fun. And deeper social connections make us all a bit healthier.
Participants are free to express their feelings, and describe their lives honestly, and can trust us to respect their privacy.
Please know that a Friendly Call is not a counselling service, distress or crisis line nor emergency service. Any calls of that nature will result in immediate contact or referral to the appropriate responders, agency or service.
