Combatting loneliness through letter writing

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

​

We don't know what a holiday season during a pandemic will look like, but we're committed to making it meaningful.

​

We're actively recruiting senior communities, assisted living homes and nonprofits to participate in the Pen Pal Shake program. This program will be 10-weeks long and connect seniors with a pen pal partner committed to writing letters.

Our goal is simple. We want to reduce loneliness and give people a reason to smile at the mailbox.

​

​

HOW IT WORKS

​

Our business is built around the concept of having a pen pal but NOT sharing your home address. All letters go through a clearing house and are swapped to keep personally identifiable information from being revealed. This allows for a positive relationship to be formed without fear.

​
