The Motion Picture and Television Fund supports working and retired members of the entertainment community with a safety net of health and social services, including temporary financial assistance, case management, and residential living. It is one of the most highly respected programs in our industry.
Since the program’s inception in early 2017, Daily Call Sheet volunteers have made thousands of calls to MPTF members, providing thousands of hours of conversation and connection. Seniors who have regular contact with friends and colleagues are much less likely to feel the depression and loneliness that social isolation causes.
The calls are organized through a hub and a daily commitment is not required – you can set a level of involvement and timetable that works for you.
- Social calls truly can be a lifesaving intervention.
- They connect people in need with key resources
- And benefit both recipients and volunteers
