GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members held a very successful fundraiser to benefit Sunrise Shelter of Pasco County. This domestic violence facility has long provided free emergency shelter and services to women and children in need of protection. The club women have supported this facility for many years and particularly during October, which is designated as Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
The club was proud to present a donation of $1,000 to the Sunrise Shelter to support its mission, as well as a truckload of donated handbags filled to the brim with personal hygiene and other needed items for the women and children in residence.
Note that club President Elayne Bassinger has serious baking skills as shown in her “cupcake” butterfly cake creation frosted in purple icing in keeping with the purple theme of Domestic Violence and Abuse.
