Friendly Visiting
Friendly Visiting is an outreach program that carefully matches volunteer visitors with people wishing a friendly visit. Our primary objective is to enhance ones quality of life through weekly “friend to friend” connections. The program is designed as a social program — not as a respite or transportation program.
Trained and caring volunteers visit any homebound or isolated Guilford resident once a week for a year or longer. There is no fee and scheduling of visits is flexible. Visits can be structured, centered on a specific activity or can be as casual as having a cup of tea or taking a walk. Many of our matches become lifetime friendships and benefit all involved. Presently there are fifty Friendly Visiting matches.
