LBFE Boston - Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly

may have been from April 24th-30th, but we celebrate our intergenerational friendships all year round! Here are some of our favorite moments from another incredible semester of programs. With hundreds of older adults and college students that connected over 275 times in dozens of senior housing buildings and senior centers across the city, these are memories that will last a lifetime.

LBFE Boston | Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly is proud to announce six new members to our Board of Directors, and newly elected Board Officers.

"Their diverse talents, fresh perspectives, and shared passion for our mission come at an exciting moment for the organization," says Board President, Rosemary M. McAndrew.

Please join us in welcoming our new members!

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the generous team from Point32Health participated in a service project to assemble 100 care kits for older adults in LBFE Boston's programs.

Last Friday, the team from Point32Health joined LBFE Boston bright and early to deliver these kits to Cardinal Medeiros Center Day Shelter in the South End. Each kit contains tote bags, hats, gloves, hand warmers, and personal hygiene items.

We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our partners at Point32Health and their commitment to supporting older Bostonians experiencing housing insecurity.

Digital Dividends Program Managers Chisom Nnajiofor & Joesha Edmorin had an incredible time yesterday presenting alongside Anna Verbuk, Director of the Resident Technology Program at 2Life Communities at the LeadingAge Annual Meeting.

As change agents of the digital divide, they presented on a critical question: "Can Technology Foster Meaningful Relationships?"

We believe it can. By connecting older adults with devices, education, and support, we are building a more socially connected Boston.
