Partners in Giving Back
In October 2016, ladies from Anne Arundel Women Giving Together (AAWGT) participated in Arundel Lodge's Women's class, as part of a grantee service project. During the class, AAWGT members spoke of the activities of the giving circle. The ladies in Arundel Lodge's Women's class were so very impressed at the 200 member group's interest and passion for helping the community and expressed that they too would like to experience a volunteer opportunity. AAWGT delivered!
On February 22, AAWGT and the Arundel Lodge Women's Group gathered together at Arundel Lodge and made more than 100 sandwiches for the Light House Shelter! Client, Lorraine A. who has used Light House Shelter services especially enjoyed the experience, commenting,
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to give back."
