Happy Valentine's Day! #HappeningNow-LBFE Boston joins Everyday Boston in supporting their 7th annual “Love Your Wicked Awesome Neighbor” Challenge #LYWAN! "Strangers are just neighbors you don’t know yet. And everyone can use a little extra kindness."

LBFE's older adult & student program participants helped contribute to making the 11,000 Valentine's cards that will spread kindness across Boston today! Look out for Program Director Stephenie Hisman-Hou distributing this afternoon at Roxbury Branch of the Boston Public Library!

Today is #NationalMakeAFriendDay and we are so excited to celebrate. At LBFE Boston, we recognize the impact that intergenerational friendships have on us all. We call on all of you to spread the power of friendship today and start a conversation with someone new. A stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet, and you never know what could make someone's day!

- Marion
"It’s beneficial, especially to that type of person that might not come out on their own to socialize. I might have been one of those people myself."
