San Francisco Bay Area Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly

San Francisco Bay Area Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly (EIN 94-3143730) is a local 501(c)(3) chapter dedicated to reducing isolation and improving quality of life for older adults in San Francisco. The organization operates volunteer-driven programs including Visiting Volunteer matches, Stroll Buddies, and Tech Allies to create consistent social contact and meaningful friendships. LBFE delivers year-round, no-cost social programs and services (visits, phone check-ins, care packages, holiday visits, and digital literacy supports) and partners with local agencies and community groups to expand reach. The organization reports a small professional staff supported by volunteers and maintains regular public financial reporting (Form 990 filings) and community impact updates. In the last 2–3 years LBFE has expanded volunteer engagement and measurable service delivery—reporting several hundred new volunteers, sustained monthly in-home visits, and high participant satisfaction in post-program surveys—while continuing to fund programs primarily through individual donors, foundations, and local grants.
