LBFE Boston is a community-based nonprofit committed to relieving and preventing social isolation among older adults. We bring intergenerational, social, tech, and creative arts programs to older adults in public/affordable senior housing and senior centers.
Our Spring Fundraising Appeal starts TODAY! And with Global Intergenerational Week this month we are celebrating the power and joy of #connections between #generations! You'll meet our program participants, young and old, and hear how their special connections are making a difference in their lives! Read Priscilla and Jocelyn's story here: givebutter.com/0325S

Abraham comes to Creative Connections for three things:
1. To learn a few techniques about painting
2. To get get to know the other neighbors
3. It’s fun to participate and paint!
Another older adult said she comes to relax and it helps her practice her mind and painting skills.
