    The Warwick Friendly Visitor Program is a free service for Warwick senior citizens and/or people with special needs. The service pairs volunteers with those in their own home or apartment who might need a ride to shopping, doctors, or help with some simple tasks. All the volunteers are vetted and insured so recipients can feel confident in inviting them into their homes. If you or someone you know would like to utilize this service, please call (845)-986-1124, ext. 400, and leave your name, phone number and date of your call. Someone will call you back.

    The Warwick Friendly Visitor Program will be holding training sessions for volunteers on Wednesday, February 9th, at 5:30 p.m. and Thursday, February 24th at 10:00 a.m. for those willing to help a senior citizen in our community. The sessions are only 90 minutes long, and your rewards for serving your neighbor will last a lifetime. To reserve a spot either email to volunteer@jfsorange.org, or call (845)-341-1173, ext. 305. Our program is governed by a volunteer council that meets quarterly here at Town Hall. We are currently seeking a chairperson to run the meetings and coordinate policy to ensure the program fulfills its mission for our seniors. If interested please call (845)-986-1120, ext. 241.
