Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly

Organization Description: 

Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly (LBFE) is a volunteer-based organization committed to relieving isolation and loneliness among elders who have little, if any, family or friendship support in their lives. Meaningful human connection built on genuine friendships is the cornerstone of our work, which also includes an array of advocacy and support services. We value older adults as an integral and connected part of our community and are committed to supporting their happiness, sense of belonging, well-being and independence.
