Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly

Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly is a Chicago-based senior support network.

Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly (LBFE) is a national network of non-profit, volunteer-based organizations dedicated to relieving isolation and loneliness among the elderly. Based in Chicago, the group was founded by Michael Salmon, who established the local chapter before starting H.O.M.E. For over 30 years, LBFE has offered a myriad of programs at no cost, including monthly birthday parties, summer vacations, social clubs, social work support, and essential services like emergency weather assistance. The organization believes that elders should meet good friends to celebrate life, stay connected to their community, and engage with their hobbies and interests. All activities provide vital companionship and connection to older adults across the city. LBFE serves as an inspiration for intergenerational connection and encourages individuals interested in connecting with isolated seniors to learn more through their official website. By fostering these bonds, the group helps ensure that seniors remain safe, healthy, and able to age independently while enjoying the joy of community.
