Recently, we took the bottle caps our EIASE Recycling students sort each day to GreenTree Plastics—and brought home 32 picnic tables and 4 park benches!

Thank you to Emerald Acres, Rural King, the Oakland Lions Club, and everyone who purchased memorial pieces to honor their loved ones. Choosing our students and supporting their hard work means so much to them and to our program.

A big thank you to Ty Horn and Chris Gebhardt for driving the trucks and helping us bring everything home! 💙

A BIG thank you to the Mattoon Fire Department for taking the time to speak with our Project Life students!

We truly appreciate you sharing your time, knowledge, and experiences with our students. It was a wonderful opportunity for them to learn more about fire safety, the important work you do in our community, and what it takes to be a firefighter.

Thank you for making the visit so meaningful and engaging for Project Life! We are grateful for all that you do to keep our community safe! 🔥 🚒

What a wonderful partnership!

💙 We Are So Blessed to Have These Amazing Young Ladies at The Glenwood! 💙

We want to take a moment to give a HUGE THANK YOU to the Effingham High School Work Program for allowing us to be part of such a wonderful partnership for the second year! 🥰

The young lady in the light blue shirt has been with us for two years now, and this is her second year working specifically alongside me. Watching her grow, learn, and build relationships with our residents has been such a joy. 💕

This year, we are also excited to welcome our newest addition to The Glenwood! ❤️ The young lady with the beautiful long, dark hair has joined us this year, and we are so happy to have her. She has already become such a wonderful part of our Glenwood family!

Both of these young ladies are sweet, caring, eager to learn, and absolutely amazing with our residents. They bring smiles, kindness, and a willingness to jump in and help wherever they are needed. Watching them interact with our residents reminds us just how special these connections can be. 🥰

And we absolutely cannot forget to give a BIG THANK YOU to Angie! ❤️ Angie has been bringing the girls to us every Monday and Thursday for the past two years, and she has been an outstanding leader and mentor to them. It is so wonderful to watch her encourage them, guide them, and help them learn what it means to make a difference in the lives of others.

Angie, you are doing such an amazing job—not only with these young women, but for our community as a whole. What you are helping teach these students about kindness, compassion, responsibility, and connecting with our older generation is something truly special. We are so grateful for you! 🫶🏼

We are so proud of the job these young ladies are doing and so thankful for the time, energy, and heart they bring with them each time they walk through our doors.

Thank you, Effingham High School Work Program, Angie, and our two wonderful students for being such a special part of The Glenwood family! 💙

We truly believe that when generations come together, everyone learns, everyone grows, and everyone leaves with a little more love in their heart. ❤️🏡

Thank you for all you do! We are so lucky to have you! 🥰✨
