In April 2020, our founders — with backgrounds in senior communication, phone outreach programs and nonprofit management — were deeply concerned about the pandemic's effect on the elderly. Shelter-in-place requirements brought profound isolation and devastating health outcomes. So they put their heads together, gathered some compassionate volunteers... and Friendly Voices was born. 

Today our research-backed mission is just as critical. Loneliness is a crisis for our elderly population, and the consequences can be dire. Weekly phone conversation helps seniors to know they haven't been forgotten. 

Friendly Voices is funded by generous grants from the Joseph & Vera Long Foundation, Cupertino Rotary, and The Health Trust, and by individual donors.
