Befrienders is the only organization in the Gallatin Valley that offers these vital companionship services at no cost. It costs approximately $500 per year to vet, train, match, and support each Befrienders relationship. Comparatively, a for-profit agency would charge around $3,000 annually for similar companionship services.
Your financial support ensures we can continue delivering our impactful services to improve the lives of seniors and volunteers in our community.
Your Donations Help Us:
- Recruit and train new Befrienders volunteers to meet the growing demand for companionship.
- Cover essential costs, including background checks, senior interviews, and training conducted by skilled professionals.
- Provide ongoing supervision and support for each Befrienders match, as well as for seniors still awaiting a match.
- Offer enriching social activities, resources, and opportunities for all Befrienders participants.
Your generosity, whether through small or large contributions, directly helps isolated and lonely seniors in Gallatin County by connecting them with a Befriender. Together, we can reduce loneliness, build community, and make a lasting impact on the lives of seniors, their families, and volunteers.
Thank you for supporting Befrienders and helping us change lives, one friendship at a time.
