What is LOC?
Here at Letters of Comfort, we are driven by a single goal; to do our part in making the world a better place for all. Letters of Comfort is a program that strives to connect residents at assisted living facilities with our volunteers. The relationships built through this program have a strong impact on both the residents and our writers.
