Smiling senior woman having video call on smart phone at home

Front Porch has made the difficult decision to close the Social Call program as of August 1st, 2025. This decision was not made lightly and is part of a broader effort to make sure every Front Porch program is adequately supported and sustainable for the future. Thank you to our participants, volunteers and supporters who have been part of Social Call and supported our goal of boosting connection through friendly visits and calls.  If you are interested in programs that support connection, please check out our sister programs Well Connected and Well Connected Español.
