Carlisle Phone Pals was established in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 by a few individuals in town. The schools and administrative offices closed in Carlisle and across the state to 'flatten the curve' and do what we could to slow the progression of the virus. Which meant that we all stayed in, we learned and worked from home - if we could.
Knowing that some of our residents would not be able to see family or visit with friends, we established Carlisle Phone Pals to connect those in need of some virtual company with those who had time and the desire to be a touchstone for someone who needed to hear a friendly voice on the phone. This is a free program available to anyone who would like to have a phone pal. |
