School-Wide Community Service Project Coming Soon:
Collecting Donations from 2/12-3/9

Did you know that every two minutes a child is removed from his or her home due to abuse or neglect?
PROVIDING DIGNITY AND HOPE. When children are removed from abusive or neglectful homes they often have inadequate, dirty or stained clothing, and little else.  They carry their few belongings in a trash bag.  Eckerd Raising Hope serves over 3,000 kids of all ages each year. When a child enters a ROOM OF HOPE they discover a cheerful, store-like room where they can “shop” for clothes, toiletries, shoes, school uniforms, comfort items and more. Plus, each child is given a brand new duffle bag to carry their belongings. This year's Lutz Prep community service project is to support Eckerd Raising Hope by collecting much-needed toiletries, undergarments and duffel bags for its ROOM OF HOPE.  Click HERE for all the details and the donation wish list.
