Since 1979 we have built inclusive communities that span generations and cultures to prevent and relieve isolation and loneliness.
With COVID cases still high, LBFE will not be hosting our annual Thanksgiving or Winter Holiday luncheons. However, we will still work hard to make the holiday special for our older friends!

We had a great evening last week for Friends on the Harbor 2021! Thank you to everyone who came out to be a part of it!

"Season Two" of the Friends on the Harbor episodes will be released soon - so if you missed the event, you'll be able to tune in on YouTube! ... See MoreSee Less

THANK YOU!!
Last night 150 members of the LBFE family gathered at the Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor to support our intergenerational programs to relieve isolation and loneliness among the elderly.
It felt so good to see everyone, and to be seen!
Thanks to your kindness and generosity we surpassed our goal and have raised over $66,000 - that means our first Digital Dividends participants will have access to technology and training, our CitySites programs will build more intergenerational friendships, and LBFE can continue to meet the moment and bring joy and companionship to our older neighbors and friends.
Thank you to everyone who came out and made this possible and to our sponsors:
