We are excited to share that Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly has once again been chosen as a nonprofit partner in the Copper Shores GivingTuesday Amplification Fund.

When you direct your GivingTuesday donation to LBFE, your donation will be amplified, increasing the impact of your gift.

LBFE provides meaningful social connection, enriching activities, and direct services to help older adults remain engaged and connected in their community.

Last year alone, our dedicated volunteers contributed 13,000 hours of service, helping reduce loneliness and social isolation among older adults.

Every amplified gift helps us befriend lonely and isolated older adults. Together, we are fostering meaningful relationships, strengthening community connections, and helping older adults age with dignity, purpose, and belonging.

More information on how to direct your gift to LBFE through GivingTuesday will be coming soon. Stay tuned!
