More About Us.....
CONTACT Community Helplines' primary mission is to LISTEN to people confronting crisis or in need and, where appropriate, refer them to other agencies and organizations whose services they may require or benefit from.
In addition to the Helplines, a Telephone Reassurance Program is provided for Senior Citizens in Camden and Gloucester Counties.
The Helplines are manned by trained volunteers and are in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All calls are strictly confidential and conducted on a non-judgmental basis.
