Canadian Red Cross - Friendly Calls Program

A trained Red Cross volunteer is paired with someone who is feeling isolated or lonely, who may have limited social and family connections, or feels they could benefit from more social interaction. Phone calls are scheduled on a weekly basis, or more frequently if requested. Calls can be as quick as a two-minute conversation, or longer. Available to adults across British Columbia and Yukon. Calls are scheduled in advance. To access the program, those who would benefit from the program or those who know someone who would benefit from it, can fill out an online form, email or phone.
