Be a friend to an isolated older adult!Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly's (LBFE) philosophy, programs and activities are focused on alleviating loneliness and isolation among older adults in DuPage and Kane County. The need for social interaction is critical to the human spirit - we believe that nurturing the soul is as important as feeding the body. The older adults we engage with have little to no contact with family and/or friends and are living life alone.

Regular in-person visiting is the best way to alleviate loneliness and isolation. LBFE is seeking volunteers that can visit an older adult in-person. Our goal is to connect people together in friendship. In-person visits could vary from in an older adult's home, to your home, outdoors (weather appropriate) or in some other great spot in the community. To begin, please join us at an upcoming Zoom orientation! Follow the link below to register. Attendance at this one-hour orientation session is required to volunteer, as well as successful completion of a background screen. www.lbfechicago.org/volunteer After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
