More about this organization
Mission
Little Brothers-Friends of the Elderly is a nonsectarian, nonprofit volunteer-based organization committed to relieving isolation and loneliness among the elderly. We offer, to people of good will, the opportunity to join the elderly in friendship and celebration of life.
About
LBFE has chapters across Europe and North America (with five chapters in the US) all dedicated to relieving isolation and loneliness among the elderly.
Since opening our Boston doors in 1979, LBFE Boston has been working to improve the lives of older adults who are without the benefit of family or adequate social contacts. Priority is given to elders living independently at, or below, the poverty line. Programs are offered without charge and without regard to race, gender, creed, nationality, or sexual orientation.
Our vision is to create inclusive communities that span generations and cultures to prevent and relieve isolation and loneliness. We collaborate with public and private senior housing buildings, senior centers, assisted living facilities and nursing homes as well as local colleges and universities to bring students and older adults together in friendship. Our core program, CitySites, brings older and younger participants together on a weekly basis for formal and informal programming to build mutually-beneficial relationships where everyone is welcome to teach, learn, give, receive, and enjoy life.
