Visiting Programs

The LBFE Visiting Programs bring friendship to the doorstep of our Old Friends with one-on-one visits. Whether they are in their own homes or in a seniors setting, volunteers and staff visit elders to build a meaningful friendship. During these visits, we listen, share, and assist with small tasks that help them continue to live independently within the community.

Visiting with Dogs

When appropriate, volunteers can bring their pets to visit elders.

Learn how you can volunteer for one of our Visiting Programs.

 

 

It's important to give back to the community

"...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
