Our Community

Our community is extraordinary … rich with musicians, cooking enthusiasts, passionate volunteers, curious learners, dedicated employees and so many more. Inspirational stories of our community members abound.

meet: Wendell

Wendell Arneson knew from the age of six that he wanted to be an artist. So, it’s no surprise that LBSA and the local award-winning artist eventually found each other.

meet: Holly

Holly Ciffra, LBSA’s In-Home Services Director says, “You only get one life, so why not enjoy it?” Easier said than done during a global pandemic.

meet: Anne and Ed

“We met so many people over the years through our work at LBSA; we are still connected to many of them,” Anne says.

meet: Steve

Steve Brockton grew up in Northfield and first became familiar with LBSA as a child. His Aunt Margaret worked here, and he would often accompany her to LBSA events.
