How do I gift a friendship?

Simply visit our Choose a Visiting Plan page and select which visit you would like to gift. You will then enter all applicable information including the gift recipient’s email address.

The recipient (member) will then use the Fruitful Friend Profiles page to choose the Fruitful Friend they feel most comfortable with.

Visits take place via Zoom or by phone call.

Each visit includes genuine conversation and the option to play online games together.

The same Fruitful Friend meets with them consistently.

  • This is not therapy.
  • This is not medical care.
  • This is not a dating service.

This is dependable, human connection.

Why this gift is impactful

Loneliness impacts:

  • Mood
  • Cognitive function
  • Motivation
  • Overall well-being

But consistent social connection has been shown to:

  • Improve outlook on life
  • Reduce feelings of isolation
  • Support mental clarity
  • Increase overall happiness

Everyone deserves someone to talk to and everyone deserves to feel valued.
