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.
Good luck to everyone running in the 128th Boston Marathon today!

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!
