Telephone Buddies
In many cases homebound, elderly or disabled persons have few, if
any, friends or family members living nearby. The RSVP Telephone Buddies
program was created to enhance the lives of such people by reaching out to them,
providing the friendly listening ear of someone who genuinely cares about their
wellbeing.
RSVP Telephone Buddies not only
provides friendship by phone, but also provides reassurance that help will be on
the way in the event of an emergency. Telephone Buddies volunteers make calls at
prearranged, regularly scheduled times. If calls go unanswered, an emergency
plan of action is implemented immediately to ensure the client's safety and
wellbeing.
Anyone can be a Telephone Buddy!
RSVP Telephone Buddies is a wonderful way for those with limitations to provide
a much-needed service. Seniors with physical limitations or who do not have
access to transportation are able to participate in this incredible program.
Volunteers make calls to clients from their own home, making it a perfect way
for someone with limitations to be involved in volunteer activity and feel
needed themselves, while also providing a very valuable service.
If you know of someone who could benefit from having a regular
telephone call, or would like to be a volunteer caller, please let us know.
