What is a Warm Line Caller?
A Warm Line Caller is a volunteer who has been trained by the GMFRC to provide a monthly call to families of a deployed member.  The call is a wonderful way to connect with the families and to also inform them about the programs and services of the GMFRC.   

A Warm Line Caller should:
§         Have the ability to empathize and encourage
§         Be able to adhere to confidentiality
§         Be non-judgemental
§         Have good listening skills
§         Be familiar with the cycle of deployment 

Time commitment:
Once trained, a warm line caller’s time commitment is approximately 2-3 hours once a month.  This volunteer position is one that is very flexible and can work within your schedule. 

We are always recruiting new members to become part of this important team.  Training and support is provided to all of our volunteers.  If you would like to know more about this or other volunteer opportunities, please call the GMFRC at 765-5611.

VOLUNTEERS REALLY DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
