Motto
Our motto, "Where service to the elderly begins by being a friend." reminds
us that the gift of friendship is most important thing we bring when we knock on the door.
Our Purpose
Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly extends friendship to those
60 and older who are without regular support from family or friends.
By visiting, socializing, and offering programs that promote independent
living, we strive to meet the emotional and physical needs of our elderly
friends.
For some, isolation comes with growing older. Children move away to follow
their work, spouses and friends die, a car wears out and is not replaced,
or a driver's license is surrendered or revoked because of illness.
This isolation is compounded by poverty.
In these difficult situations we extend a helping hand. Our programs
combat loneliness and help our elderly friends remain in their own homes.
Mission Statement
Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly is a national nonprofit
volunteer based organization committed to relieving isolation
and loneliness among the elderly.
We offer to people of good will the opportunity to join the elderly in friendship
and the celebration of life.
Our services are free of charge to the elderly.
