What this program aims to achieve
Provide phone and virtual companionship and a friendly, sympathetic ear by checking in with elder artists who may be on their own and feeling isolated.
Provide assistance in accessing community resources, health care providers, rides to medical appointments, grocery shopping, and running various necessary errands.
Bridge the gap left by family and government personal support workers by providing important and necessary outreach on a volunteer basis.
Provide assistance to the elderly and infirm by enhancing their overall well-being through social interactions that reduce isolation and help them gain dignity and a stronger sense of community.
Behind every great performance, there is a supporting cast.
Your gift becomes a home, a phone call, a way back to community for an artist who needs it now.
