Current LBFE volunteer needs in the Kane and DuPage area
- Phone Visiting Volunteer – Alleviate elder loneliness through phone calls to catch up and check in. We’re seeking volunteers able to commit to calling an elder twice monthly for a year, building and deepening a friendship during this time.
- Visiting Volunteer – Share conversation and laughter over a cup of coffee or during a walk. We’re seeking volunteers able to commit to visiting an elder twice a month for 12 months, building and deepening a friendship during this time. Volunteers should also be fully vaccinated to participate in-person with fully vaccinated elders.
- Leadership Team Volunteer – We’re looking for volunteers who would like to help plan and facilitate various programs, including recruiting volunteers, seeking out lonely and isolated elders in the area, and hosting luncheons or celebrations.
Regular phone calls keep elders connected to friendship, conversation and laughter.
A visit from a friend transforms a week of loneliness for an elder living alone.
Friends and family are able to volunteer together.
