📸 Help Us Tell the Story of Aging with Dignity.

At ElderCARE Lake County, every day we witness moments that matter.

🩵 A volunteer helping an older adult get to a lifesaving medical appointment.

💛 A friendly visit that turns loneliness into laughter.

💚 A technology lesson that reconnects a grandparent with family across the country.

These aren't just services—they're relationships. They're community. They're a reminder that no one should have to age alone.

As our organization continues to grow, we're looking for a talented photographer/videographer to help us capture these authentic moments and build a library of images and video that reflects the heart of our mission.

Our RFP outlines the opportunity to create storytelling-focused photography and videography that highlights transportation, friendly visits, technology assistance, volunteers, and the meaningful connections that make our work possible.
We're looking for someone who loves capturing real human connection—the smiles, conversations, eye contact, and everyday moments that tell a story far better than posed photos ever could. https://www.eldercarelakecounty.org/rfp

📅 Proposals are due August 21, 2026.
If you're a photographer or videographer—or know someone whose work would be a great fit—we'd love to hear from you.

Please help us spread the word by:
📷 Tagging a photographer or videographer you admire.
🔄 Sharing this post with your network.
Together, we can tell the story of a community that cares.

Over the past year, we've experienced something truly exciting at ElderCARE Lake County.

Because of the incredible support of our donors, volunteers, community partners, and dedicated staff, we've continued to grow our impact—helping more older adults maintain their independence, access essential services, and stay connected to their communities.

Growth is never about numbers alone. It's about more seniors receiving the support they need to age with dignity and confidence. It's about families finding hope. And it's about a community coming together to care for one another.

As we continue to expand, we're thrilled to announce that we're hiring for two positions - FT Program Coordinator & PT Community Health Worker - to help us meet the growing needs of seniors across Lake County.
