Lonely West County Seniors Need You! The Friendly Visitors Program is an important community program that creates lasting and enriching ties between senior citizens and volunteer visitors. Friendly Visitors was founded on the very principle that the oldest and frailest among us should live in a comfortable and safe environment through later years. Volunteers are needed to visit a senior for one hour per week and help reduce the feelings of isolation and loneliness. The experience gives volunteers the opportunity to make a difference in the life of someone who truly needs and appreciates their companionship and friendship. The Friendly Visitors Program is operated through Meals on Wheels by Senior Outreach Services, a private, non-profit agency that has helped individuals and families in Contra Costa County since 1968. To learn more about the Friendly Visitors Program or to volunteer, please contact Susannah Meyer at (925) 937-8311 ext. 130 or at smeyer@mowsos.org, or visit our website at www.mowsos.org  08-Jun-10
