FriendshipWorks

• Volunteer organization
• Non-profit organization

"Its a great resource for the entire city for seniors. Vitally important for the aging "boomers" generation, especially as some have become isolated and on their own. Just to have someone to develop a friend type relationship with, to have them drop by to just say hi, share a coffee or a story.. Increasingly so in these times where isolation is increasing dramatically, both due to the pandemic social distancing and in general for those that don't have family at all, or family they don't see that often, or friends, etc etc. This organization fulfills a vital role in our community and even some of the greater Boston metro areas."

"Lovely orgabuzatiot helped in my past job as a Senior Resident Service Coordinator to place area college students with lonely seniors living in family/senior housing in Boston communities."

"I worked as a volunteer for them. They are very genuine and nice people"

"I have used FriendshipWorks for escort just once, but will most definitely use the service again when needed. The person who helped me on the phone was so friendly and efficient and the volunteer who escorted me home from the hospital was on time, friendly but not intrusive and reliable."

"My neighbor s volunteer violated HIPAA. He is very upset and wants a new volunteer. I think FriendshipWorks actually works for the facility, even if the individual is not paid."
