In these uncertain times of isolation, we must be proactive if we are to remain connected to one another, our families, friends and community. The Heart and Hands program at Orcas Senior Center is dedicated to this action, but we can’t do it without community volunteers. The need is great, the duration is short, and the impact is personal.

We are looking for people who can virtually volunteer from home using a phone and a computer, or just a smartphone. Virtual volunteers will be matched to seniors to call and ask if they would like someone to regularly check in on them. For more information, contact Buddies@orcasseniors.org or select #buddiescheckin on orcas.recovers.org.
