Our Mission
Since 1997, the Lake Forest–Lake Bluff Senior Citizens Foundation has helped older adults in our community live with purpose, connection, and confidence. We champion the interests of seniors, fund the programs and services of Dickinson Hall Senior Center, and support the Lake Forest Lake Bluff Senior Resources Commission.
What Your Generosity Funds
Senior Advocate: A trusted, personalized guide who connects seniors to housing, in-home assistance, and transportation, and helps them navigate complex programs like Medicare, Social Security, and Benefit Access.
Reichert Family Social Services Fund: Funded by the generous support of the Reichert Foundation, this fund allows our Senior Advocate to provide direct financial assistance when it matters most: utility shutoffs, medication gaps, and urgent household needs.
Transportation: Reliable rides that get eligible residents to appointments, errands, and activities safely and on time.
Lifelong Learning and Social Programs keeping people engaged and connected.
Your Gift Makes a Difference
More than 5,000 older adults call Lake Forest and Lake Bluff home. Thanks to donors like you, the Foundation contributes over $225,000 each year to the programs and services they count on. You can direct your gift to the Senior Advocate, Transportation Assistance, or Greatest Need — giving us flexibility to respond where help is needed most.
We take stewardship seriously: less than 1% of our assets goes to administrative and fundraising costs, and our volunteer Board of Directors ensures every dollar makes a meaningful difference.
