CONNECTING SENIORS WITH CARE
PROGRAMS
ONLINE BUDDY PROGRAM
This program allows us to alleviate some of the isolation seniors are facing by video-chatting with them once a week. A senior will be paired with one of our volunteers and they will be able to chat about their daily lives, what's new, and anything else that peaks their interest!
ONE-WAY PENPAL PROGRAM
This program will run between seniors and screened volunteers biweekly. Letters will be typed out by volunteers and dropped off at the senior's residence by an executive member of SWS. On holidays, there will be special messages written by volunteers and delivered to the seniors.
VIDEO SHARING PROGRAM
This program is great for those people that want to get involved but cannot commit to a regular time slot to do live calls! Volunteers pre-record a video of themselves for seniors to watch. The content for this videos could include: a musical performance, a heartfelt message, a craft or project and much more!
