RESIDENTS, TEAMMATES, CLIENTS, PARTICIPANTS, FAMILIES, AND VOLUNTEERS ALL STRIVE TO BE OF SERVICE TO GOD AND THE COMMUNITY. MANY OF THE SENIORS SERVED BY LSA HAVE BEEN SERVICE ORIENTED AND PHILANTHROPICALLY INCLINED THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES AND CONTINUE TO SEEK OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE.

THEY HAVE SEWN, KNITTED, CROCHETED, AND QUILTED COUNTLESS ITEMS FOR CAUSES THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND BEYOND. RESIDENTS OF THE LSA NURSING HOMES AND ADULT DAY SERVICES MAY BE LESS VISIBLE BUT ARE EQUALLY COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY SERVICE. SUPPORTED BY TEAMMATES AND VOLUNTEERS, THEY HAVE HELD BLOOD DRIVES, THEY HAVE HOSTED BREAKFASTS FOR FIRE, POLICE, AND EMERGENCY SERVICE PERSONNEL, COLLECTED SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR KIDS, AND ADOPTED NEEDY FAMILIES AT CHRISTMAS. THEY, TOO, HAVE LOGGED IN HUNDREDS OF HOURS IN PROJECTS FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS, THE ARC, THE ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION, MEALS-ON-WHEELS, THE HUMANE SOCIETY, THE AMERICAN RED CROSS, THE UNITED WAY, AND MORE.
