Helpline Seeks Friendly Visitors

Hunterdon Helpline, the county’s all-volunteer telephone helpline reached by dialing 2-1-1, is looking for friendly people with time to visit the county’s elderly who need companionship.  It only takes and hour or two a week to share a smile with a shut-in person.  Friendly visitors can share memories and photos, play cards or help write letters at the senior’s residence.  Training is given.  Call 2-1-1 if you would like to become a friendly visitor or you know a person who would like a visitor.
