La filosofía, los programas, y las actividades de Little Brothers-Friends of the Elderly (Pequeños Hermanos Amigos de Los Adultos Mayores conocido por sus siglas en inglés LBFE) están centradas en aliviar la soledad y el aislamiento entre los adultos mayores en los condados de Dupage y Kane. Una interacción social es importante para el espíritu humano; creemos que nutrir el alma es tan importante como alimentar al cuerpo. Los adultos mayores con los que trabajamos tienen poco o nulo contacto con familiares y/o amistades. Ellos viven aislados. Los voluntarios apoyan a los adultos mayores a través de la amistad, participando en diversas actividades y programas, e incluso visitas personales y fiestas en días festivos.
Una visita en persona es la mejor manera de aliviar la soledad y el aislamiento. LBFE está buscando voluntarios que puedan visitar a un adulto mayor en persona. Nuestro objetivo es conectar a las personas a través de la amistad. Las visitas pueden ser en el hogar, al aire libre (cuando el clima lo permite), o en lugares dentro de la comunidad. Para empezar, por favor únase a nuestra orientación por Zoom. Haga click en el enlace y empiece a registrarse ahora. Para ser voluntario se requiere la asistencia a esta sesión de orientación de una hora. También se requiere una exitosa revisión de antecedentes

About Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly Chicago Chapter
Location:
355 N Ashland Avenue, Chicago, IL 60607, US
Mission Statement
Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly is a national network of non-profit volunteer-based organizations committed to relieving isolation and loneliness among the elderly. We offer to people of goodwill the opportunity to join the elderly in friendship and celebration of life.
Description
Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly (LBFE) is committed to meeting the needs of elders who are isolated and alone. Our motto, flowers before bread, expresses the belief that love, dignity and beauty in life are as important as basic physical needs. This philosophy is reflected in all of our activities, which include one-on-one visits, holiday parties, vacations in the country and individual birthdays celebrated by the delivery of a cake and a gift. The quality of our services is just as important as the services themselves.The elders served by LBFE have little or no contact with family and friends, few financial resources and many reside in dangerous and deteriorating neighborhoods. When we enter their lives we provide them with companionship, which is something that many of them have not had in years.
Last year we served nearly 1,200 elders, with the indispensable help of over 1,300 volunteers giving more than 54,000 hours of their time.
We have a broad range of opportunities for volunteers, donors and elders to share, learn, grow...and to celebrate life. Opportunities are available year-round. LBFE is great way for families to volunteer together and to introduce youth to service.
Help LBFE bring elders from isolation to celebration!
