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.
Yesterday, the LBFE Boston team, volunteers, and older friends came together for a festive holiday luncheon filled with conversation, delicious food, trivia, and connection! 🎄❤️#happyholidays #GenerationsTogether#socialconnection... See MoreSee Less
This week we bid farewell to Jeremy, Laiying, Mackenzie, and Xinyi, our amazing Northeastern University co-ops! 💙 Over the past 6 months, you've been incredible Program Coordinators, supporting #olderadults, college volunteers, and the LBFE mission. Thank you for helping relieve #socialisolation and making a real difference. We’ll miss you all! 🌟
