Welcome

Since 1959 Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly (LBFE) Chicago Chapter has brought companionship and social interaction to isolated and lonely elders. This last year we served 1,050 elders, with the indispensable help of 1,388 volunteers giving more than 54,000 hours of their time.

We have a broad range of opportunities for volunteers, donors and elders to share, learn, grow…and to celebrate life.

We have news…

Our second annual WALK IN THE PARK will be held on Sunday, June 8 in Lincoln Park. Click here for more information or contact Heather at (312) 604-7234.
