Caring Connections is a Council on Aging program that matches a volunteer with an older adult for weekly phone calls or in-person visits. This no-cost program is an opportunity to meet someone new, discover common interests, and feel more connected to the community.
This program is open to anyone in Deschutes, Jefferson, Crook or North Klamath Counties, age 60 and older who would like to talk with someone regularly. Our volunteers are located throughout the tri-county, and are trained and background checked.
If you are an older adult interested in joining our Caring Connections program or know someone who would be a good fit for connecting to a volunteer weekly, call us at (541) 678-5483.
