Making an impact through our programs

compassionate companions

One of our key programs, Compassionate Companions, pairs individuals with trained volunteers who act as dedicated listeners and community guides. These volunteers take the time to understand what matters most to each person, providing personalized support throughout their journey. Whether you’re facing a life-changing diagnosis helping a loved one navigate their own caregiving path, or experiencing grief, a Compassionate Companion will assist in connecting you with resources and support, always with the focus on maintaining your quality of life.
