Programs
Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly programs are free and designed to relieve isolation and loneliness through friendship, socialization and activities. Are elders are diverse, and we respect them all. Some are very social and enjoy great hoopla, others simply want a quiet conversation. Some are homebound while others are very mobile. With a wide variety of programs created with great consideration to the unique preferences, and needs, we are able to accommodate our Old Friends.

"...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
