Canadian Red Cross Friendly Calls Program

Many of us have experienced loneliness at one time or another, but the Canadian Red Cross is hoping to lessen this feeling with their Friendly Calls program.

The aim of the program is to address the issues associated with isolation and loneliness by paring a trained Red Cross volunteer or staff member with an adult who is feeling isolated or lonely, who may have limited social and family connections, or who feels they could benefit from more social interaction.

At a regularly scheduled time, Red Cross personnel call the people with whom they are paired for a social chat, connecting them, if needed, with resources available in their community.

The Friendly Calls program is free and is available to any adult who feels they could benefit from more social interaction–it’s not just about making a phone call. It’s about forming connections.
