Mission Statement:

Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly is a national, nonprofit, volunteer-based organization committed to relieving isolation and loneliness among the elderly. We offer to people of good will the opportunity to join the elderly in friendship and celebration of life.

Little Brothers strongly believes that people need special pleasures in life in addition to the basic necessities. We feel that love and dignity and beauty in life are as basic as physical needs. Our motto – flowers before bread – is reflected in the activities at all of our locations, which include elegant holiday meals with champagne and flowers, vacations in the country, and individual birthdays celebrated by the delivery of a birthday cake and gift.

The Cincinnati Chapter is located in Mt. Airy. Throughout the year, the Little Brothers organization hosts birthday parties, seasonal events, fundraisers and other programs for the elderly. In addition to Cincinnati, Little Brothers can be found in Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Miami, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Philadelphia, Houghton (Michigan) and Omaha.
