Visiting Neighbors wishes everyone a happy and healthy autumn. We're an organization for all seasons and volunteers are welcome to join us any time!
Welcome to Visiting Neighbors!
With 50+ years of experience, Visiting Neighbors has been helping seniors in New York City live meaningful and active lives by matching them with one of our dedicated volunteers. Our programs and services help seniors maintain their independence by connecting them with someone who cares. Our goal is to provide a helping hand to our community's elderly, who may not have family or friends nearby.

In 2022, Visiting Neighbors was named a grantee by The Eisner Foundation to continue developing the Therapeutic Walking Program that brings together youth volunteers and older adults, keeping older adults engaged in their community while creating transformative relationships as they share life experiences.
The Eisner Foundation identifies, advocates for, and invests in high-quality and innovative programs that unite multiple generations for the enrichment of our communities.
This September, they posted a spotlight about Visiting Neighbors including interviews with staff, volunteers, and seniors.
