City of Salem Seeks Volunteers for Senior Check-In Calls

Salem Together initiative coordinating City-wide volunteer well-being calls

 SALEM – The City of Salem, through Salem Together, is seeking volunteers to help place regular check-in phone calls to Salem seniors during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

Volunteers can offer to help by filling out the form online at www.salem.com/offer. Within the next week volunteers will be matched up with a short list of seniors to call once or twice a week and provided with a suggested script and set of questions.

“I’m so grateful to the nearly 100 volunteers who have already signed up to help through Salem Together,” said Mayor Kim Driscoll. “If you have a few minutes each week to give to these well-being check-in calls, this is an easy way you can help from the comfort and safety of your own home. I hope all Salem residents who are able to will consider signing up and ‘adopting’ some of our older neighbors to touch base with during these difficult times.”
