Each volunteer/family sign-up will be provided access to a list of approximately 10 seniors to call between 10:00 a.m. and noon on Thanksgiving Day. The calls will be made via a Virtual Phone Bank, to which volunteers will be granted access. There’s no need to use your own phone number, as you will be assigned a local area code and number to make the calls.
