Families, friends, neighbors and co-workers all working together, ensured that fewer elders were alone or forgotten on Thanksgiving day.
You, the volunteers, make this day possible for our elders. Your generous gifts of time, kindness and compassion made all the difference for 115 elders on this special day. As they have for decades, Envision Catering and Hospitality provided us with a beautiful ballroom and fine china, as well as a professional chef and additional staff support. Thank you all so much for your ongoing support! Additional pictures can be viewed on our LBFE Facebook page.
Please also consider volunteering with us all year long. As you know, loneliness doesn't take a holiday. Together, we can
build a community where no elder feels alone, and every elder is valued and loved.

Seven things you will excel at after age 50
And, it's all based on science! Scientists have found that a number of traits and skills don't actually peak until after a person turns 50, and some even later in life.
Did you know that wisdom doesn't peak until 60? People do get wiser as they get older!
