The Friendly Phone Line at 614-993-3614 is available to older adults in greater Columbus who are looking for friendly conversation and social connection. Please share this number to older adults in need of extra social support during this stressful time.
The Friendly phone-line is intended to be a touch point to combat loneliness in our community during this unprecedented time of social distancing.
Older adults may call Monday – Friday, between 9 AM – 5 PM and vetted community volunteers will be available to take the calls. These calls are not intended to be a space to provide counseling, case management, or health information/recommendations. However, we do want you to feel safe, comforted and heard. Importantly, please note this phone line is not for emergencies and not staffed 24-hours a day.
Do you have any programs available in the Cleveland area?
Ouch! Your number is no longer in service. Please revise this web page. I was upset to call a non-working phone number.
