Video chat with seniors in Lehigh, Carbon and Northampton County, PA from the comfort of your home. Volunteers must reside in the Greater Lehigh Valley. Similar to face-time calls, have a friendly conversation with shut in or lonely seniors, in your community. Some people are unable to get out much, resulting in little to no social connection. Use your computer, tablet or smart phone to connect and provide a pleasant experience for someone that needs community connection. SeniorCHAT LIVE is as close to face to face contact as it gets. Give the gift to someone in need with an uplifting friendly conversation.
