Description:

Tele-Touch Volunteers call clients according to a pre-arranged schedule. Depending on the client’s wishes, it may be a quick phone call to make sure the client is alright or it could be a friendly chat about the day. We also provide security check-in calls from Monday to Friday. Matches are based on common interests and the type of call required to ensure a positive and meaningful experience for both the client and volunteer.
