Befrienders Mission
Befrienders is the only organization in the Gallatin Valley that is currently offering senior companionship services free of charge. We take pride in being incredibly efficient and are able to manage these matches for an annual cost of approximately $500 per match (compared with approximately $3,000 per year for similar services through a for-profit company).
The Need Is Now
Bozeman’s growth combined with the Baby Boomer Generation continuing to reach retirement age puts Bozeman’s senior population (ages 65 and over) at 11.9 percent of the area’s population, totaling over 12,400 individuals (Census Data, 2016).
Seniors Are Waiting
Because of the growth and aging in Gallatin Valley the need for
Befrienders’ services is growing beyond our capacity to deliver. In fact, we currently have two matches waiting for every one we can make. We need funding, staffing, and volunteers to meet
the growing need of our senior community.
Our Program Is Designed To Help
Our Adopt-a-Match program is designed to help. Your donation of $500 will support a
senior match for a year and help build our capacity, so more Befrienders’ relationships can be
formed.
Adopt-a-Match Today!
If providing support and companionship for a senior is something you believe is important – make a tax-deductible gift of $500 today (or feel free to give what you can or sponsor multiple matches)!
To acknowledge your gift, and let our community know you care, we will send you a “I support Befrienders Adopt-a-Match” sponsor decal for display in your window along with our warmest thanks.
