You can help relieve and prevent social isolation and loneliness among older adults. Your generosity allows us to connect the young and old at free, weekly programs where they build mutually beneficial, joyful friendships.
Each year LBFE Boston connects Boston's college students with hundreds of older adults living in public and affordable housing. Generations enjoy social, digital literacy, and creative arts classes together and share life experiences and skills.
We're not going to send you any emails today to give your inbox a break. Instead, we simply want to say THANK YOU. #lbfeboston ... See MoreSee Less

#InTheNews Yet more research shows the detrimental impact of social isolation. This is why LBFE Boston depends on your support...to reach more older Bostonians and expand our intergenerational programming to more public & affordable housing buildings
"The worst thing you can do when you're over 50 is to socially isolate yourself. Loneliness causes a wear and tear on the body that becomes more pronounced over time, and in older age can actually increase your risk of dying by a whopping 26 percent."
