A free & accessible way for local seniors and friendly adults to hangout

A welcoming 3rd space matching friendly adults and local seniors for easy, pressure-free 30-minute phone calls or tea chats based on shared interests.

Match Me With a Friend

“

I have many acquaintances, but pretty much no one to call and see anytime.

“Others are not interested in making new friends...”

“We have nowhere to go and nothing in common...”

What it is costing right now: Self-isolation isn't just quiet—it slowly traps people in routine solitude. Every week spent waiting means another week feeling disconnected, while loved ones worry quietly from a distance.

How Yarn Works

A safe space for adults (20s–30s) and middle-aged/elders (40+) to connect based on shared interests.

Real Proof

People repeatedly shared that they didn't need a formal care service—they simply wanted a friendly 3rd space where someone is genuinely excited to talk, listen, and share common interests.

Straight Answers

The two biggest questions people ask us before getting started.

1. Is Yarn really 100% free? What's the catch?

Yes, it is completely free. We are a community-funded project supported by local grants and volunteer organizers who believe elder isolation is a problem worth solving together. You will never receive a bill or be asked for payment info.

2. Will this actually work, and how do you keep my family member safe?

Safety and comfort come first. Guaranteed match within 48 hours, or Suzie personally calls you to find one. Every participant goes through a quick onboarding conversation with our team before making their first call. If a match doesn't feel completely natural or enjoyable after the first chat, we instantly swap matches with no awkwardness.
