Dobbs announced the need for volunteers at the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System for Compassionate Contact Corps.
Volunteers are matched with veterans that are experiencing loneliness or are socially isolated.
The volunteer typically calls the veteran weekly for 15-60 minutes to provide socialization and companionship via phone or video calls.
Across the nation, more than 700 volunteers made more than 13,000 calls to veterans.
