Opportunity Details

Miracle Friend for a Phone Buddy Program with Heart

Miracle Messages | https://www.miraclemessages.org/getinvolved

Be matched with an unhoused or recently housed neighbor for weekly phone calls or texts. These check-ins foster real conversations and build lasting relationships.
Many of our unhoused neighbors experience profound isolation. A simple weekly call can reduce loneliness, boost mental health and build trust in a world that often feels neglectful and harsh. Volunteers often say that they get more out of the Miracle Friends program than they give.

  • Build a meaningful friendship and grow your empathy
  • Enjoy flexibility: connect anytime and anywhere
  • Become part of someone’s support system
​We are thrilled to explore how you can join our mission to end relational poverty and help people experiencing homelessness feel seen, heard and loved. Volunteering with us is about transforming lives through connection and building community. All volunteers are required to attend an orientation. Miracle Messages provides ongoing support for volunteers.
To get started, Use the "Express Interest" button below to connect with Marlena De Castro or call (650) 235-4348.
We look forward to partnering with you to address relational poverty and help our unhoused neighbors!
