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 1,000 elders, with the indispensable help of 1,625 volunteers giving more than 52,300 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…

Congratulations and thank you WALK IN THE PARK supporters. Your participation, whether as a sponsor, volunteer or walker, made you a valuable member in helping us carry out our mission.

"An Intergenerational Moment in Art" will be on display at the Chicago Children's Museum, Navy Pier, May 1 - August 31. On August 8 and 22, 1:00-2:00 p.m., LBFE elders will interact with museum visitors through a variety of intergenerational activities.

Family is important to LBFE - that's why we often call ourselves a family. Volunteering strengthens family bonds in ways you wouldn't expect. Find out more.
