GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB MEMBERS have amassed almost 250 sweet stuffed animal “pets”
which have been delivered to a number of facilities such as The Colonnade at Northdale, a memory care and ALF residence, Sheriff’s Offices, Fire/EMT Stations, etc. for the benefit of children and elders in need of a sweet hug and some comfort in lonely and stressful situations. This ongoing project was initially part of the club’s MLK Day of Service but will continue as needed by these facilities
