Who We Are & What We Do

Friendly Visitors & Garden Angels, sponsored by The Chore Service, offers two programs to help older or disabled persons.

Friendly Visitors match seniors or disabled persons, who would like a bit of companionship, with volunteers who make regular visits and occasional phone calls.  Clients and volunteers visit to share interests and hobbies, attend a local event, play a game of chess or just have a cup of tea and chat (and listen).

Garden Angels help clients eith small gardening projects.  This might include planning a garden, planting and weeding, putting a garden"to bed" in the fall or leafing through catalogs during the winter months.

Our services are available in Canaan, Cornwall, Falls Village, Kent, Lakeville, Norfolk, Salisbury and Sharon.  All services are free.  Friendly Visitors and Garden Angels are supported by The Chore Service, participating communities and private donations.

Become a Friendly Visitor Or Garden Angel

If you want to make a difference in someone's life, please join us as a Friendly Visitor or Garden Angel.  Volunteers are interviewed by the program coordinator, are screened with a routine background check and attend a brief training session.  The commitment can be as little as one hour a week.  You can make a difference.  Call us today at 860-364-0171
