Through its signature program, Digital Dividends, and its comprehensive approach to relieving isolation and loneliness among older adults, nonprofit LBFE Boston provides laptops, internet access, and computer instruction free of charge to older adults living in Boston public and affordable housing, necessities that millions of Americans are living without. Since its launch during the pandemic in 2021, Digital Dividends has doubled its program sites.
“LBFE Boston continues to expand our work supporting older adults, especially those who face economic and linguistic barriers, in accessing devices, internet connectivity, and training and support,” continued Wilkerson. “We’re proud to be part of efforts across Boston and Massachusetts to bridge the digital divide and to create a more equitable landscape for everyone.”
LBFE Boston extends an invitation to advocates, policymakers, community leaders, educators, researchers, media, press, and all committed to digital equity, to help make this Digital Inclusion Week a seminal moment in our ongoing efforts to ensure that everyone, regardless of age, income, or background, has the digital resources they need to fully participate in society.
