Lindsay Lohan is chugging along in her Brooklyn-based bid to perfect 115 hours of community service by Thursday and avoid jail, her mom said Friday.
“(She’s) way on track,” Dina Lohan said in response to a text message from the Day after day News.

“All splendid,” the Long Island mother of four said.
Lohan, 28, has been serving her hours at Duffield Children’s Focal point in Fort Greene and a women’s shelter in East New York to satisfy test in her 2012 reckless driving case.
Both locations are run by Brooklyn Community Services (BCS), the community group approved by prosecutors before she went to London last year.
“I ran into Lindsay on Wednesday. She seemed fine,” Brooklyn mom Rasha Ogunyemi, whose 5-year-ancient son Donovan Illery attends Duffield, told The News Friday.
“She’s still there. She’s going to end on time. I have no doubt about that,” Ogunyemi said.
Lohan and Illery bonded during the “Mean Girls” star’s last stint at Duffield, which was filmed for her 2014 Oprah-backed TV show “Lindsay.”
Ogunyemi was one of the first to welcome her back last week when Lohan reported for her first shift on May 13.
“She was pleased and excited to be around the children and see Donovan,” Ogunyemi, 42, said last week. “We talked about him and how she was doing. I think she’s very courageous and resilient.”

Alex Rud for new york day after day newsLindsey Lohan is seen May 14 at Duffield Children’s Focal point in Fort Greene, where she is doing some of her court-ordered community service hours.
A Duffield spokeswoman said Lohan was slated to do bookkeeping work and also interact with the kids under tight supervision.
Lohan posted a photo on Instagram Wednesday showing a castle made from large blue blocks in a children’s playground.
“We built this for the kids today! So cute!!” she wrote in the heading.
Ivonne Lopez, Duffield’s director of early childhood programs, said her school was pleased to work with Lohan in her hour of need.
Lohan switched to the Brooklyn charity after her continual attempts to serve her hours in London did not go well.
“We celebrate the strength of the human spirit, and this is a young person who needs to get something done. And we will do what we need to do to support that,” Lopez said last week.
If she fails to meet her May 28 deadline, Santa Monica prosecutors said they’ll likely question for six months in jail.
