Befrienders Bozeman

Befrienders Bozeman The seniors who come to us are all different. Some live in long-term care facilities and have no family to speak of. The volunteers are also very diverse.

Enhancing Lives Through Friendship. �
Befrienders is a way to connect volunteers in the community to a senior in need of more social interactions or companionship � Others live with their spouses or adult children, and having a Befriender provides respite for them and their caregiver. Some seniors want someone to take them to the grocery store and to run other errands. Others want to go for short

walks, out to coffee or on adventures! Still others have mobility issues and need someone to sit and visit with them. About 25% are students far from their families that simply want to make a meaningful connection. Others work full-time and just want to spend an evening/weekend making someone's life a little better. Still others are retired and want to devote some of their free time to helping another. The expectations of every volunteer/senior match are different, but each match has the potential to change the lives of both the senior and the volunteer for the better!
