Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly's (LBFE) philosophy, programs and activities are focused on alleviating loneliness and isolation among older adults in DuPage and Kane County. The need for social interaction is critical to the human spirit - we believe that nurturing the soul is as important as feeding the body. The older adults we engage with have little to no contact with family and/or friends and are living life alone. Volunteers support older adults in friendship through various activities and programs, such as in-person visiting, parties, and holidays.
Regular in-person visiting is the best way to alleviate loneliness and isolation. LBFE is seeking volunteers that can visit an older adult in-person. Our goal is to connect people together in friendship. In-person visits could vary from in an older adult's home, to your home, outdoors (weather appropriate) or in some other great spot in the community.
