Our volunteers visit one-on-one with residents, help staff on outings or in the office and keep the grounds of our communities beautiful. Some volunteers share their special talents., like 15-year-od Jim Kim who serenaded residents at The Johnson Center during their Friday evening dinner with her violin. Volunteers also raise money throughout the year to donate to the organization in the form of fulfilling speciality wish list items to further enrich residents' lives. In 2008, more than $20,00 was donated to the organization. .
Our staff, residents and volunteers reach beyond our communities to bless our surrounding neighbors by taking part in our Community Benefits Programs. Community Benefits projects include intergenerational literacy programs between local schools and our Adult Day participants, making pillow pals for children living in shelters and taking part in the the Toys for God's Kids program. Staff and volunteers host our 5th annual 9Health Fair serving more that 820 people; staff painted homes during the Brother's Revelopment Paint-a-thon and, of course, our ongoing commitment to Pinewood Lodge, a low-income senior housing community where Christian Living Communities sponsors a pantry, meals and activities.
