Cheer Visits

For nearly five years USR Cares has increasingly focused on building enduring relationships with USR seniors.  Our Cheer Visits serve as the foundation of this simple objective – to be good neighbors to this vital segment of our community.

We visit with over 100 senior households at least six times each year and, in many cases, on a much more frequent basis. 

Our goal is to brighten the day for our seniors, to address loneliness and isolation experienced by members of this community and to offer support where needed.

Over 20 volunteers participate in these visits, pairs of volunteers visit with the same 10-12 households throughout the year.  

We receive overwhelmingly positive feedback from the seniors we visit and from our volunteers themselves – it is a truly a wonderful feeling and beyond heartwarming to be part of this program.
