What We Do
The LSCF helps to support outstanding programs and services for older adults in our community by providing supplemental funding to the Levy Senior Center. The foundation also extends its impact by offering programs and events designed to enrich the lives of older adults in the Evanston area, ensuring they remain active, connected, and engaged.
