Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly's philosophy, programs and activities are focused on alleviating loneliness among older adults in Chicago. 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 holidays are a time to gather together and enjoy the warmth of true friendship and appreciation. Come join LBFE and bring a special holiday gift or Christmas Day meal to an isolated older person!
Bring a special holiday gift: Volunteers bring a special gift to an elder's home during the month of December and visit in-person for 30-60 minutes. Gifts are picked up at LBFE's HQ at 355 N Ashland Ave. Commitment is roughly 2-3 hours, as volunteers will contact elders to schedule a visit in advance.
Bring a meal on Christmas Day: Volunteers would see 2-3 elders and bring a special holiday meal to their home on Christmas Day and visit in-person for 30-60 minutes. Meals are picked up at LBFE's HQ at 355 N Ashland Ave. between 9 AM - 11 AM. Volunteers can also bring family and friends! Commitment is roughly 2-3 hours.
Contact Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly today to make an impact in an older person's life! Attendance at an orientation session is required. Our last sessions in December will be held on Thursday, Dec. 7. To sign up please visit www.lbfechicago.org/volunteer/sign-up-to-volunteer or call (312) 455-1000 or email general@lbfechicago.org for more information.
