Jack Church talks with Juan Gallo, Executive Director for Heart 2 Heart Outreach in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The primary mission of Heart 2 Heart is to connect, advocate, respond and engage aging adults who are experiencing loneliness and isolation by mobilizing volunteers. Gallo said the volunteers connect in person with seniors living in care centers or living independently in their homes. They also connect digitally, through weekly video calls and phone calls. They create cards, blankets and other items dropped off as care packages. They also deliver food and minister to seniors through Bible studies and Sunday services at care centers throughout South Florida.
