Mission: Little brothers-friends of the elderly is a nonprofit volunteer-based organization committed to relieving isolation and loneliness among the elderly. We offer to people of goodwill, the opportunity to join the elderly in friendship and the celebration of life.
Programs: Elder services: for elders who are homebound or living in nursing homes, the organization sends volunteers bearing food, gifts and flowers to help celebrate the holidays and remind them that they are part of the organization's family. The organization delivers meals on thanksgiving, hosts a christmas party and provides baskets for easter. Volunteer and elder services: the organization matches a volunteer with an elder to create a friendship that it hopes will last a lifetime. The volunteer visits regularly and helps out with the many small but important things the elderly friend needs to remain independent. The organization sends volunteers bearing foods, gifts and flowers to help celebrate the holidays and remind elders who are homebound or living in a nursing home that they are part of the organization's family.
