A Phone Call Can Make a Difference

 Department of Human Services/Westport Center for Senior Activities

A new Town program connecting community members to one another through simple phone calls.  The program encourages connection and combats loneliness as individuals of all ages and stages create a network of social phone calls offering a warm connection between caring neighbors.

NEW!  Westport's "Hello, Neighbor" Program is expanding to include contactless Grocery Assistance for seniors!   

Starting February 14th, 2021, Westport seniors wishing for assistance with basic grocery runs now have a reliable and safe delivery option with a caring neighbor's help. No apps or membership fees, just simple acts of kindness to help when needed!

Volunteer shoppers undergo a background check before being matched with a screened senior resident requesting assistance.
