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.
Yesterday we hosted our 2nd Annual Multigenerational Mixer celebrating Global Intergenerational Week! 💫 It truly was a joyful afternoon connecting our older & younger participants, community partners, sponsors, supporters, media, and Fenway neighbors.
We saw the magic that happens when generations connect—these relationships aren’t just nice to have, they’re essential to healthy aging for ALL of us and building community! ❤️
Thank you to everyone who joined us and to our sponsors Senior Whole Health of Massachusetts & 2Life Communities, Boston Red Sox for donating the door prizes/tickets, our amazing caterer @jg_charcuterie, and Fenway Community Center for hosting again this year!

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.
