Welcome

Since 1959 Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly (LBFE) Chicago Chapter has brought companionship and social interaction to isolated and lonely elders.  This last year we served 1,000 elders, with the indispensable help of 1,625 volunteers giving more than 52,300 hours of their time. 

We have a broad range of opportunities for volunteers, donors and elders to share, learn, grow…and to celebrate life.

We have news…

Our second annual WALK IN THE PARK will be held on Sunday, June 8 in Lincoln Park. Click here for more information or contact Heather at

Family is important to LBFE - that's why we often call ourselves a family. Volunteering strengthens family bonds in ways you wouldn't expect. Find out more.
