Two of our flagship programs and participants appreciate supply and gift card donations. Please see the Amazon Wish Lists for specific needs. In-kind donations can be shipped directly to the LBFE Boston main office (address on file with Amazon), or a team-building opportunity with a special supply drop-off to our main office in Boston can be arranged.
Hold a Supply Drive to Benefit LBFE Boston
Make Seasonal Greeting Cards for Older Adults
Throughout the year, LBFE Boston distributes homemade seasonal greetings cards to our older adult program participants. A card from a caring person can really brighten a day and make someone feel loved and remembered. Individuals, community groups, and corporations are invited to participate. Contact jdemayo@lbfeboston.org with your full name and email address, and you will receive an auto-reply with more specific information and deadlines. Thank you!
Be a Social Media Ambassador!
One of the simplest ways you can volunteer and support LBFE Boston’s mission is to be a social media ambassador! The more people who know about the importance of relieving and preventing social isolation among older adults, the more intergenerational, social & digital equity programs, and creative arts classes we can offer in public/affordable housing and senior centers. Just follow our social channels below, and when our posts speak to you, comment & share with your networks. Email your first name, social handles & a photo to Jean at jdemayo@lbfeboston.org and we’ll follow you back and do a shout-out! Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Twitter/X.
