Volunteer
By sharing their friendship and time, our volunteers truly change the lives of adults 70 and older aging alone.
Programs
From a special in-home visit to a delivery of groceries at the end of the month, our programs are designed to bring friendship and sustaining services to lonely isolated older adults.
Support
We’re grateful to all those who support our work and mission. Because of your dedication and generosity, 1,000 men and women 70 and older can count on LBFE for year-round programs and services.
Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly has been dedicated to relieving isolation and loneliness among older adults in Chicago since 1959.
Women and men 70 and older who are aging alone have a family in Little Brothers. For over 60 years, we’ve been providing steadfast friendship to thousands of older adults who no longer have friends and family to rely on. All of our programs and services are always offered at no cost, and our organization receives no government assistance. We depend on the generosity of donors to bring conversation, companionship, celebration and connection to the men and women we serve.
Donate
Your gift of any amount has a powerful, direct impact on the life of a lonely older adult. Your generous support connects lonely, isolated LBFE participants with meaningful friendship, engaging programs and vital services.
