The Friendly Visiting program helps older adults create long-lasting friendships. Through this program, volunteers are matched with homebound older adults for weekly home visits. They can talk about shared interests and experiences, giving the older adult a sense of connection.

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

Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.
