Hi Betsy,

It could be similar to www.elderhelpers.org. Each person in a neighborhood would have icons beside their name to indicate the skills they would be willing to share. It could include sewing, reading aloud, playing cards or board games, chatting, cooking, driving, etc. There could be an icon for senior and one for younger person. This way, those looking for inter-generational conversation could tailor their search. It could be a general community sharing site along the lines of ABCD work, or it could be spefically designed to meet the needs of seniors seeking social opportunties and the chance to contribute to their community. What do you think?

Hi everyone,

Is anyone aware of a tech tool such as Meetup.com but for virtual meetups for homebound people? Both for support and reciprocal life enhancement?

Thanks,

Donna
