Davenport Lutheran Home

Davenport Lutheran Home Dedicated Volunteers

Marea Likeness is pictured here with Mary Ash and Eileen Butenschaen. Together these beautiful ladies have been helping to facilitate the weekly BINGO game at the Lutheran Home for over 65 years! Marea has volunteered here ever since we opened the doors in 1971. Marea now resides at the Lutheran Home herself, but still, every Friday she helps another resident play BINGO. When Mary had just retired from being a Teacher’s Aid, when a friend invited her to help out with BINGO. That was twenty years ago! Eileen was also invited to volunteer with a friend five years ago and appreciates the friendship that has grown between she and Mary while handing out BINGO cards and prizes at the Lutheran Home. Thank you Marea, Mary and Eileen for all 65 years of service to others!

Activity Volunteer, Bill O’Brien is pictured here with Davenport Lutheran Home resident, David Neal. For two years Bill has been making frequent visits to the home to chat with David and other residents and also facilitates the Bag Toss Game twice a month. Thank you, Bill!

Bingo Volunteers, Danna Wuestenberg, and her son, Lucas are pictured here with Davenport Lutheran Home resident, Allen Plambeck. Danna and Lucas help out at BINGO and other large group activities at the home. Alan said he likes having Lucas help him with his BINGO card and he thinks it’s great that he is learning to serve others by volunteering at such a young age.
