Compeer has been active in Johnson County, IA has been creating supported friendships between volunteers and adults with long-term illness since 2002. We ask the two of you matched in a friendship to spend 4 hours per month together, enjoying activities you would with any friend. These often include taking a walk, getting coffee or going to lunch, going to a movie or whatever the two of you choos

e to do; it's up to you! The adults in our program are ready for friendship and look forward to having someone to share their life experiences and their joys and sorrows. We are located in the lower level of the First Presbyterian Church at 2701 Rochester Avenue.
