Lincoln Woman's Club holds successful Operation Santa donation drive for our troops

 

[December 14, 2020] 

The GFWC Lincoln Woman’s Club officers and board are still meeting monthly, though membership meetings have been placed on hold due to current Covid restrictions.

Several socially distanced fundraisers and community projects have been completed by the club during the past two months.

Of special note is the annual LWC Operation Santa project that this year provided active American troops overseas with over $2900 worth of food, toiletries, gift items and 250 holiday stockings. The local community and club members contributed an additional $1000 in donations for the supplies including postage.

Additionally, the club donated and filled 20 stockings for the Operation Care Package program that also supports deployed military as well as provided stockings and gifts for a local facility that provides temporary housing for veterans.
