Larchmont Friends of the Family (LFOF) was founded in 1997 by several Larchmont residents who had suffered severe illnesses in their own families. The generous help they received from neighbors and friends was invaluable, uplifting, and transformative. It made them realize how meaningful and necessary community support can be during a time of crisis, and a wonderful idea took root. Since then, LFOF has been actively and confidentially helping local families through difficult times. Today, LFOF is a focused organization (we like to call it a neighborhood fund) with more than 200 volunteers, and we have helped close to 100 families cope both financially and emotionally. We are neighbors helping neighbors. Larchmont Friends of the Family is a local not-for-profit volunteer organization that has been actively and quietly helping families in our community for more than 20 years. Established by compassionate residents, the group offers practical and financial support to those who have been faced with a medical crisis or loss. We hope to bring back a sense of normalcy to the family life in any way we can, and our door is always open.
