Check and Connect

Feeling Lonely? Check and Connect is a free program for older adults that provides regularly scheduled phone calls to clients who want to reduce feelings of isolation. Our goal is to support individuals and ensure their needs are being met. Our team of volunteers call clients to verify their well-being, provide companionship, and refer them to available resources. This program hopes to not only help reduce victimization and health concerns, but also isolation.

There are no requirements to join besides being an older adult or an adult living with a disability.

Client Testimonial

  • “The Check and Connect Program has been very important to me for about two years now. It has offered up patience and a wonderful escape from the silence. I have not been fortunate to have family or friends in Spokane to just call and check on how I am doing. Thank God, this wonderful Program does that once a week.”  – Check and Connect Client
