Everyone deserves great company – let us match you with a senior so you can make a real difference in your community.
A small amount of your time as a volunteer can make a huge difference to the life of a senior. A helping hand, a listening ear, and a friendly smile can all make a senior feel more socially connected, and inspire them to rekindle life skills and hobbies they once enjoyed. Your company can provide support in remaining independent and connected to community, not to mention sharing many smiles along the way.
In Great Company is a flexible volunteer program, which takes your skills and goal and matches them to a real friend!
