ElderFriends is a non-profit program that matches lonely and isolated elders with volunteer visitors for companionship and friendship. We serve elders from all over King county, but we currently have a large number of un-matched elders in South King County (Federal Way, Pacific, Auburn, Kent, Burien, SeaTac, Renton)
This is strictly a companionship program; chores and errands are not required but are optional. Training and on-going support are provided. There is a minimum commitment of at least two visits per month for one year. Background checks will be completed, and volunteers must be 18 or older.
