THE MORE FRAIL ELDERS OF THE LUTHERAN NURSING HOMES AND ADULT DAY SERVICES MAY BE LESS VISIBLE, BUT ARE EQUALLY COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY SERVICE. SUPPORTED BY STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS, THEY HAVE HELD BLOOD DRIVES, BAKE SALES, AND CRAFT SALES. THEY HAVE HOSTED BREAKFASTS FOR FIRE, POLICE, AND EMERGENCY SERVICE PERSONNEL, COLLECTED SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR KIDS, AND ADOPTED NEEDY FAMILIES AT CHRISTMAS. THEY HAVE LOGGED IN HUNDREDS OF HOURS IN PROJECTS FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS, THE ARC, THE ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION, MADD (MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING), MEAL-ON-WHEELS, THE HUMANE SOCIETY, THE AMERICAN RED CROSS, THE UNITED WAY, AND MORE.
