The Phone Buddy Program is a free service designed to match seniors living alone in Winnebago County with volunteer “buddies” who call each day to check on them. ADVOCAP performs a background check on all phone buddy volunteers. The Phone Buddy Program offers:
· Reassurance to participants that others in their community care about their well-being
· Daily socialization and meaningful conversation for both volunteers and buddies
· Peace of mind to family and friends concerned for the safety of their loved ones.
If you or someone you love would like to receive calls from a phone buddy or you would like to volunteer to become a phone buddy call ADVOCAP at 426-0150 or 1-800-323-0150.
