LWRWC members made large pot of hearty vegetable soup and a salad for the residents in their fully equipped kitchen.
On Wednesday, March 5,2025, members from the Lakewood Ranch Women’s Club made a site visit to the SOLVE Maternity Homes and EVOLVE program campus. They were given an in depth behind the scenes tour of two residential homes by house mom Monique and learned about the way SOLVE and EVOLVE have impacted our community.
The LWRWC Club members contributed food and supplies to prepare a nutritious dinner for the residents that evening. The menu consisted of a hearty chicken vegetable soup, tossed seven layer salad, a tray of oven baked potatoes, cornbread muffins and cookies.
