Connecting seniors with certified volunteers

KIT is more than just a phone call; it is more than just a conversation. It is confirmation for seniors that someone cares, a declaration that someone is willing to provide support to them and that someone is willing to take the time to simply listen.

What Partners and Participants Say

KIT connects program participants with certified volunteers who, through a weekly telephone support system, take the time to talk and listen. Listen to what participants and community partners have to say about the program:

Volunteer is very nice and I feel like I know her even though we have never met. She is a super lady, so comfortable to talk to. You cannot have a better friend - she is just like family. I love her so much.

The Keep in Touch program has given me something to look forward to. Initially I would forget my volunteer was going to call but she would always try again. My volunteer caller has been very, very wonderful.

Our first volunteer was a perfect match for the participant. Within minutes of introducing them over a conference call, they were lost in conversation about a shared interest
