Friendship Services that Make a Difference

Connecting older adults with meaningful companionship programs.

Belonging Starts Here

At Friends & Co, we offer programs designed to reduce loneliness and build lasting connections. Whether you're seeking a friendly voice, a one-on-one connection, or a place to belong, you’re in the right place.

What Does It Mean to Be a Member?

Everyone who participates in our services — whether you’re receiving a phone call, enjoying a visit, attending an event, or writing cards — is a member of our community. Membership is always free, always welcoming, and always yours to define. Whether you’re here to connect, to give back, or both, you belong here.
