Parties & Celebrations
At the Holidays
The holidays are times meant for togetherness, and with the help of our volunteers and donors, we make sure that every LBFE older adult experiences a warm celebration with friends, whether at a party or at home. During the holidays, we:
- Throw family-style parties, complete with live music, dancing, and a traditional holiday meal shared over laughter and conversation.
- Prepare home-delivered meals with all the trimmings at Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Our volunteers deliver these during friendly visits to our older adults, brightening their day.
- Visit older adults who are homebound or living in nursing care facilities. Volunteers bring warm conversation and goodies, like sweet treats and a colorful house plant, to celebrate the day.
- Make sure each LBFE older adult feels remembered with a gift chosen specially for them through our Holiday Gift Program every December.
Celebrating All Year-round
Year-round, we provide opportunities for older adults to celebrate life surrounded by friends. With the help of our volunteers, LBFE older adults are able to enjoy connection and conversation with others at parties and events throughout the year.
- Geo-local gatherings bring together older adults who live in the same region of the city. Older adults who meet at these events may find that they live close enough to get together easily in their own neighborhoods.
- We’re big on birthdays! At our monthly Birthday Parties, all elders with a birthday that month celebrate with lunch, cake, fresh-cut flowers and a birthday gift.
- Special themed celebrations. We never miss an opportunity to celebrate! We celebrate Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, the start of summer, Labor Day, and Halloween with festive luncheons that make the season memorable.
