On Saturday, February 13, the Penn Alumni Club of Philadelphia will be
spending a morning with elderly members of the Philadelphia community
through a partnership with Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly, an organization devoted to relieving isolation and loneliness among the
elderly. Most of the people targeted often lack a social network of
family and friends or have few opportunities to develop social
relationships. They need friendship and companionship. Spending just a
short time with them could make a big difference in their lives.
Volunteers will meet in the morning and split into pairs to visit
residents at a building in Center City. Volunteers will be provided
with a small Valentine's Day gift to bring to our "old friends."
Time: 10:45 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: Casa Farnese, 1300 Lombard St.
Cost: Free
