The Friendly Visiting program matches volunteers with homebound older adults for weekly home visits.

The program offers both older adults and volunteers an opportunity to cultivate long lasting and meaningful friendships. For volunteers, it opens the door to learning from an older adult's life experiences, and benefiting from the personal satisfaction derived from community service. For the older adult, friendly visiting provides a sense of connection to the outside world, something to look forward to, and a sense of contributing to society through sharing their wisdom, knowledge, talents and stories with a new friend.

There are Friendly Visiting programs throughout the City.  All programs are under NYC Aging-funded case management and home delivered meals programs, in partnership with Citymeals on Wheels.  

Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.
