Meals on Wheels People seeks volunteers to make calls to home-bound elderly on Thanksgiving as part of the Friendly Chats program. Volunteers will visit seniors just to chat, providing crucial face-to-face contact so important to reduce social isolation among the elderly. In addition to Thanksgiving Day Friendly Chatters, Meals on Wheels People is recruiting bilingual volunteers who would like to become regular Friendly Chatters. In addition to Spanish, Russian and Mandarin Chinese, volunteers who speak Vietnamese, Hmong, Farsi and other languages are encouraged to apply. To volunteer, go to mowp.org/volunteer.
