Residents of Luther Oaks and 5^th grade students from Pepper Ridge Elementary School gathered at CUB Foods in Bloomington, IL on Wednesday, December 7, 2011 to ring the Salvation Army bell.

Every week, residents of Luther Oaks have the opportunity to participate in activities as part of an intergenerational program.  This particular week, residents were able to get out and make a difference in their community, and teach 5^th graders the importance and impact of philanthropy.

Ringing the bell for Salvation Army and mentoring school-aged children are just two examples of the many ways in which Luther Oaks residents are actively engaged in the community.
