Friendship Circle is excited to announce the return of Senior Circle, an initiative dedicated to fostering meaningful connections between seniors and compassionate adult volunteers.
This time, we are proud to partner with Jewish Family Services (JFS) Friendly Visitors Program to expand our impact and reach even more seniors in need of companionship and social engagement.
Through this program, we will match adults (18+) with seniors in the community, providing opportunities for regular home visits and meaningful connections that enrich their lives.
Whether sharing a cup of coffee, taking a walk, or simply engaging in conversation, these visits help combat loneliness and bring warmth and friendship to seniors who may be feeling isolated or just want some company, wherever they may live in our community.
We are currently seeking volunteers to visit and connect with seniors in our community. If you’re interested in getting involved, we encourage you to sign up.
Together, through Senior Circle and our partnership with JFS, we can create a stronger, more connected community—one friendship at a time.
Senior Circle is generously sponsored by the Lewis R. Lester Foundation.
For more information or to sign up as a volunteer, please contact alana@FCVA.org or go to friendshipcircleva.org/senior-circle/ .
