About this cause

Loneliness became a huge crisis during the pandemic. The health risks related to loneliness alone create a higher risk of mental and physical conditions including heart disease, depression, anxiety, dementia and premature death. Our mission is to combat loneliness and isolation in the elderly by creating mutually beneficial intergenerational connections that elevate one’s mental health.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Our aim is to create meaningful intergenerational connections and combat loneliness in the elderly, by creating newly found relationships that last a lifetime. Since the pandemic we’ve had 90,000 volunteers! By virtually ‘adopting a grandparent’ we seek to alleviate loneliness and generate companionship in as many communities as possible, with both parties benefitting in the most amazing way.
