End Loneliness! friend to isolated adult in Chicago

Overview

Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly (LBFE) is committed to meeting the needs of older adults who are isolated and alone, serving older adults in the City of Chicago, Northwest Indiana, and DuPage & Kane Counties. Our motto, flower s before bread, expresses that love, dignity and beauty in life are as important as basic physical needs. This philosophy is reflected in all of our activities, which include one-on-one visits, holiday parties, summer vacation experiences, and individual birthdays celebrated by the delivery of a cake and a gift.

LBFE serves older adults who often have little contact with family and friends and limited financial resources. When we enter their lives, we provide companionship, which is valued by those we serve.

Last year we served a large number of older adults with the indispensable help of volunteers. LBFE relies on volunteers to deliver its mission and impact in the community.

We have a broad range of opportunities for volunteers, donors, and older adults to share, learn, grow, and celebrate life. Opportunities are available year-round. LBFE is also a great way for families to volunteer together and to introduce youth to service. Help LBFE bring older adults from isolation to celebration!
