About

Friends of the Elderly is a volunteer-based non-profit organization committed to alleviating isolation and loneliness among older adults in the Twin Cities. Elders are a precious resource and represent the fastest growing segment of the population. Friends of the Elderly provides companionship services to more than 500 elders annually, including in-home visits, holiday meals, social activities, advocacy and more. These services result in greater independence and well-being, and provide the social connections necessary to age in place successfully and safely. Friends of the Elderly receives no government funding and relies completely on the generosity of donors.
