Get connected.
Getting involved in community or volunteer work might be the perfect way to combat loneliness or isolation. It’s a great way to make friends while making a difference.
Engaging with local community organizations, or finding opportunities through libraries, community centers, and religious facilities are all ways to give back, get involved, and find others who make a difference.
