Caring Callers Update - February 2022

The Caring Callers program of the JCC-Federation of San Luis Obispo that matches people who would appreciate periodic contact with a community volunteer who indicated a desire to participate. We currently have 7 volunteers working successfully with 7 seniors.

Our Caring Callers Program Coordinator is Beverly Cohen. Please contact her if you or someone you know is interested in receiving calls or you want like to volunteer to be a Caring Caller.

Would you like to be involved in Caring Callers?

Are you looking to help the local SLO community...or make a connection with someone in the community? Would you like to receive periodic phone calls from a friendly volunteer OR be that volunteer?
​
The situation with COVID-19 has affected all of us. We’ve sheltered in place, worn masks when venturing outside our homes and generally led cloistered lives for the past few months. However, for some of our neighbors, that sort of seclusion only intensified their existing feelings of isolation. Whatever the personal circumstances, today’s stressful conditions place an extra burden on many of us. But there is a way to help!

Jewish Family Services has developed a program, Caring Callers. We are matching volunteers, the Caring Callers, with people who indicated they’d appreciate an occasional conversation by phone from a volunteer. Something as simple as asking “how are you” or “tell me about your week” can be very beneficial to a person who feels closed off from most activities beyond their front door. It’s the essence of Tikkun Olam!

And, of course, if you know of someone who might value such a periodic call from someone in the community, please let us know. There’s a special familiarity when one person reaches out to another, even if they begin as strangers.

If you’re interested or want more information, please contact us below! You CAN make a difference!
