Contact any Nursing homes in your area. They love visitors also.

First you have to find a senior citizen with Internet access. Believe it or not, nursing homes do not have such access.
If you want to do something for older people, take your physical body and go to the nearest nursing home. Senior citizens love it when you sit with them and talk to them and pay attention to them.
Most very old people cannot see good enough to read things off of a computer.

There is a national organization called Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly that works with lonely and isolated seniors. They are always looking for volunteers. Check out the website at littlebrothers.org to see if there is a chapter in your area.

Go to the yellow pages, under Convalescent Centers, give one a call and ask if they have lonely patients who receive no visits or mail.
