Building Connections. Fostering Friendships. Connecting Generations. Creating Community. Ending Social Isolation.
LBFE Boston is a community-based nonprofit that helps relieve and prevent social isolation by bringing intergenerational, digital equity, and arts programs to older adults in public/affordable senior housing and community centers.
Card games and good vibes! ✨🃏 Our intergenerational group had a blast playing Trash and Uno at Patricia White Apartments! 🙌 Program Manager Sarah says Trash is a lot of fun... but we're still not sure we've got all the rules down! 🤔😂 Either way, it's all about the laughs and connection! 💛
Did you know that Age Strong has a free shuttle service that can take you to non-emergency medical appointments? If you are a Boston resident aged 60+, you can call 617-635-3000 from Monday through Friday to set up a shuttle pickup for your next appointment. Further questions can be directed to 617-635-4366. boston.gov/departments/age-strong-commission/age-strong-shuttle ... See MoreSee Less
Creative juices were flowing when our Creative Connections instructor Tran Vu teamed up with an enthusiastic group of #olderadults at South Cove Plaza for some artistic magic! Some participants crafted beautiful wooden ornaments, while others let their imaginations run free with drawing and painting! 🎨🌟
Our Fall 2024 programs are in full swing, as is our Fall Appeal! Your gift will help us add 15 Creative Connections classes. That's 8 weeks of painting, drumming, dancing, drawing, or poetry for nearly 300 older adults, like Mary who shared:
"It’s a fun and relaxing creative outlet for me. I forget a lot of my problems when I’m here, taking the time to paint with other people in my building." givebutter.com/lbfeboston-fall2024w
Please Fight hard anyway and every way u can there these coming days to save our kids from the massive deadly lIES (jan6 antivaccine global warming denial etc.)CULT called Maga and their gold spray orange tan hairdo Antichrist Nazi. Thanks
Thank you to everyone who has liked our post and shared our mission! Together we can make a difference in the lives of isolated older adults.

We visited Pasha from OmDrum, one of our talented Creative Connections instructors, and the older adults drumming crew at Veronica B Smith Multi Services Senior Center last week and learned a traditional song from Western Africa called "Funga Alafia," which means "welcome and blessings.' It was my first time drumming and once I 'got out of my head' and stopped thinking and worrying about messing up, it was relaxing to me!
This week and next we are highlighting the arts! Our Creative Connections program is thriving and older adults are enjoying a variety of genres to express their creativity! Here, at a weekly poetry class led by Partners in Rhyme at Veronica B Smith Multi Services Senior Center, the crew read and wrote poetry about 'kindness.'
Writing and reciting poetry has a whole host of benefits, including emotional expression, improved memory, and social interaction. ... See MoreSee Less
This week is all about the arts! Our Creative Connections program is thriving and older adults are enjoying a variety of classes this fall! Here's the gang from Veronica B Smith Multi Services Senior Center participating in a weekly poetry class led by Partners in Rhyme. On this day, we read and wrote poems about "Kindness."
The LBFE Boston's offices and programs are closed today, Monday, October 14th, in honor of Indigenous Peoples Day. Take some time today to recognize the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of their communities.
