Year-Round Celebrations

Our year-round Celebrations of Life are festive gatherings where elders have a chance to visit with others and enjoy good food. We escort our Old Friends from their homes to these special events, or go into their home with a celebration designed just for them.

Enjoying a lunch at LBFE

Old Friends make new friends at our luncheons.

  • Nearly every week, we host Wednesday Luncheons with a theme for the menu, fun activities, and live entertainment.
  • We bring In-Home Celebrations to those elders who cannot come to luncheons, offering something good to eat, as well as a gift to brighten their day, such as a book, a CD or magazines.
  • Our Saturday Family Reunions offer elders the opportunity to reinforce friendships with contemporaries from their neighborhood as well as volunteers and staff they have met at other LBFE events.
  • One Saturday each month, we hold Birthday Parties in our dining room for elders who have a birthday that month, complete with cake, cards, a gift, and the traditional birthday serenade.
  • During our In-Home Birthday Visits volunteers bring a personalized gift, a decorated birthday cake, and other goodies to our Old Friends to celebrate their special day.
  • Throughout the year, we escort elders on special group Outings to go to the movies, visit a museum, see a play, or simply walk in the park.
