Participants must sign a contract about tablet use and agree to weekly check-in visits with Faith in Action staff.
If a participant purchases their own tablet or laptop, Faith in Action staff can assist them with technology support to get them up and running.
The Senior Connections Project is funded in part with a Live Well at Home grant from the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
Faith in Action for Cass County connects community volunteers with people who need assistance with transportation, homemaking, chores, visiting and basic home repairs.
Faith in Action also has a telephone reassurance program that connects a volunteer to someone who requests a phone call for a “check-in” or a “chat” depending on what the caller prefers.
