Visiting Programs
The LBFE Visiting Programs bring friendship to the doorstep of our Old Friends with one-on-one visits. Whether they are in their own homes or in a seniors setting, volunteers and staff visit elders to build a meaningful friendship. During these visits, we listen, share, and assist with small tasks that help them continue to live independently within the community.
When appropriate, volunteers can bring their pets to visit elders.
Learn how you can volunteer for one of our Visiting Programs.
