Welcome
Please Join Our Family Today
Welcome to Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly where we are committed to providing friendship and service to lonely and isolated elderly people. We are an extended family of elders, volunteers, donors, and employees. Together we are making a difference in the lives of elderly people. Now during the pandemic, it is even more important for us to extend a helping hand to a population that was already experiencing isolation and loneliness before we had to social distance. Please join our family today and make a difference in the life of an elderly person.
We continue to provide ALL programs and services though we have made necessary adjustments to promote social distancing so we can continue to support the most valuable and vulnerable population, our elderly friends.
Essential services include Medical Transportation, Food Assistance, Medical Aid Equipment Loans, and Firewood Assistance. Through our Mission in Motion initiative, we have started a new program to deliver groceries and essential items to our elderly friends so they don’t have to leave their home.
Friendship services include our signature Friendly Visiting Program and our Social Activities. In lieu of in-home visiting and small group activities, we are now providing our elderly friends with Telephone Reassurance, Friendship Mail and Virtual Activities.

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.
