Chabad of Sudbury is pleased to announce the launching of the new Chaverim Friendly Visitor Program.
What is it?
Did you know there are many seniors and others in our community who can’t or don’t get out too much and would love to have some company, conversation, and a listening ear?
We’re looking for people who can spend 1-2 hours a month visiting one of our community’s seniors or others who would enjoy the visits.
Spend a little time listening to their stories or sharing a story, playing cards, sharing a snack…
All that’s required is a listening ear and a smiling face!
Why should I volunteer?
When you become a friendly visitor, you and your older friend have the opportunity to begin a mutually rewarding friendship. Through common interests and experience you can establish a relationship that will broaden and deepen both your lives.
Seniors are able to remain active and engaged in the community when they welcome visitors, enjoy time together, and share their wisdom and experience.
How do I sign up?
Signing up is easy.
Send an email with your name and contact information to Rabbi Freeman and Barbra Sher who will be coordinating the Chaverim Friendly Visitor program to [email protected] or call 978-443-0110
Barbra will work with you to make the best “match” and will provide suggestions on what’s next.
How can I request a visitor for a Relative or Friend?
If you have a friend or a relative that would benefit from a visit by a Chaverim Friendly Visitor Volunteer, please send us an email at [email protected] or call 978-443-0110
