“LBFE has a warm, friendly atmosphere, the site is a very cool loft building with a garden patio, parking. The staff and volunteers are very committed to Little Bros. They’re also fun and diverse. The elderly can be challenging at times but all in all are so pleasant, fun and INTERESTING.”
Robin Dannevik, Full-Time Student/Personal Assistant
“I volunteered to give something to a group which is often overlooked and shunned by our youth-crazed society. Volunteering with LBFE has given me something that speaks to my heart and brings me a better sense of community in my life…something that battles the alienation that this city seems so good at proliferating.”
Tim Widlic, Emergency Medical Technician
“The Chicago Chapter of LBFE is as well organized and it is well known. The elders are very happy about it and I am glad for the organizational skills. Personally volunteering with LBFE is helping me to grow and to sharpen my skills in Ministry.”
Carlette Gentle, Student
