GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB has supported Habitat for Humanity for decades. A team of members attended the recent dedication of two new homes in Dade City and came bearing gifts for the proud new homeowners. The club women presented each of the two families with very useful housewarming gifts such as fire extinguishers, plants, books, seasonal decorations and more.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members undertook a large sewing project to handcraft “comfort pillows” to be provided for women post-surgery at several area hospitals. The ladies gathered to complete the final step of stuffing the pillows, packed and delivered them to Advent Health/Fletcher, Advent Health/Wesley Chapel and to Moffitt Cancer Center.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members visited Baldomero Lopez Veterans’ Nursing Home in Land O’Lakes on Veterans’ Day and presented the administrator with a club donation of $2,000 for the benefit of the veteran residents. The funds are to be used for fun outings, shopping trips for personal items or a treat meal for these veterans. The Woman’s Club has long supported this facility through donations and volunteering for monthly fun bingo nights.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB team of members volunteered at Meals on Wheels of Tampa and put together and decorated 60 large holiday collection boxes to be distributed to many area businesses. The community may drop holiday gifts in these large boxes for the many local shut-in clients who may not have family or friends reaching out to them during the festive season.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB acknowledged the importance of World Food Day by collecting and delivering over 250 pounds of food and donating it to Christian Social Services, a Land O’Lakes social service agency which serves the needy and food insecure in our community. The Woman’s Club has supported Christian Social Services for several decades.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB was pleased to make a generous donation of $2,000 to “Operation Smile” as a result of its recent “mini-flea market” fundraiser chaired by Kay Taylor. ‘‘Operation Smile’’ is supported by Florida GFWC, in particular, as the chosen charity of Florida President Sharon Oliphant, which charity provides the lifesaving gift of life with cleft lip or palate surgery.
