You can help relieve and prevent social isolation and loneliness among older adults. Your generosity allows us to connect the young and old at free, weekly programs where they build mutually beneficial, joyful friendships.
Each year LBFE Boston connects Boston's college students with hundreds of older adults living in public and affordable housing. Generations enjoy social, digital literacy, and creative arts classes together and share life experiences and skills.
Have you RSVPed yet? We can't wait to see you at our Multi-Gen mixer in the Fenway community next Thursday! Old, young and everyone in between welcome! Enjoy refreshments, get to know your neighbors and community! Meet our new Executive Director, Cynthia Wilkerson, too! RSVP here! bit.ly/3TYNXnP

LBFE Boston is thrilled to announce the appointment of Cynthia Wilkerson as LBFE's new Executive Director! Cynthia isn't a new face at LBFE – she brings over 20 years of experience in the non-profit sector and has been a driving force within our organization since joining back in 2015. Some fun, fast facts about Cynthia:
1) Proud Southpaw (#leftiesrule!),
2) Born and raised in Idaho . . . some of my earliest memories are potato themed! Potato harvest, potato cellars, potato warehouses . . . it was a family business.
3) Avid movie go-er. Find me at the #coolidge!
4) Elephants are amazing!
5) My chaplaincy training from my divinity school days comes in handy ALWAYS!
You can meet Cynthia at next week's Multi-Generational Mix & Mingle (info here: lbfeboston.org/newsroom)

This week, we shine a light on Andrew B. who has been a volunteer for LBFE Boston 'since last century!' (We counted back to 1996, but Andrew believes it's probably even longer than that!) About his volunteerism, Andrew says, "I'm there because of the elders and the forgotten." Thank you, Andrew, for being a part of the LBFE Boston family and for supporting older adults!
