The health and safety of the elderly in our community and our volunteers is of utmost importance to us. Therefore Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly is cancelling our Easter dinners, Easter home meal deliveries, and Easter holiday visits. We are committed to providing our other services, some with modifications to ensure everyone’s safety. For more information, please call (906) 482-6944 or TOLL FREE 1 (855) 886-LBFE (5233) or click on the phone button on the bottom right of this page.
We came to this decision after thoughtful consideration based on the information from the CDC and the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
During this time, we want to remind everyone to look out for your elderly neighbor with a phone call or by offering to pick up prescriptions or groceries. If you find someone in urgent need, please call Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly. If you are healthy and have more time to volunteer, please let us know as we anticipate more requests for help from our elderly community.
Refer an Elder
Do you know of an elderly neighbor living alone? Is there a homebound elder near you who never has any visitors? Do you see the same elderly person sitting in the park with no one to talk to and share the day?
Like to contribute?
Your financial gifts will allow us to continue reaching out to those elders who have no one else to turn to.
Volunteer Today
Make a big difference with a little kindness and support. Transport seniors to medical appointments, process firewood for home heating, help at a holiday meal, visit lonely elders, and so much more.
Kind Words
Getting help with my medical appointments is vital, but I look at those beautiful yellow flowers and I remember the visit. I touch them and smell them and I know that someone is thinking of me. When I come home I see them and I know that I am not alone.
