Love for Our Elders

Love for Our Elders is a nonprofit organization dedicated to using the power of letter writing to help alleviate the growing loneliness epidemic among seniors. In the United States, 43% of adults age 60 and older report feeling lonely, which is shown to increase risk of dementia, heart disease, stroke, and premature mortality from all causes. Since 2013, over 50,000 individuals have volunteered with Love for Our Elders, writing over 500,000 letters cumulatively. Volunteers can write letters from anywhere in the world, and send them to the official PO Box to be distributed to seniors in need.
