It offers to people of good will the opportunity to join the elderly in friendship and celebration of life.
The motto flowers before bread expresses its core belief that sharing love and respect and bringing beauty into the lives of the elderly is as essential as meeting their physical needs. Little Brothers honors all individuals by meeting the basic needs of the human spirit: to serve others, to love and to be loved, to belong, and to enjoy life. Its strong belief in this motto is reflected in the activities at all of its locations in the USA, 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.

CHICAGO (Senior Living Information), November 11, 2008
By Lisa Sneddon
800 Elders Attend Senior Prom in Chicago: I meant to post this before the event to advertise it but I forgot, so now I guess I will just tell you that it happened. It was sponsored by Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly and was held yesterday (Nov 10) at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel.
The guests, many of whom are from Little Brothers – were donned in their fanciest suits and dresses and spent the afternoon dancing and enjoying themselves.
