"...Volunteering with LBFE I can visit elders in my area. The home office is not too far from my home. I choose where and who I visit.”
Elinah Achusim, Implementation Specialist
“LBFE Chicago is my second family. I called in 1991 to volunteer. The staff person was so pleasant and welcoming when she recruited me to drive. The rest is history. It is one the best aspects of my life.”
Kay M. Leane, Executive
