1578 pack

On April 23, six Eustis Anna Miller Circle members and two Eustis Elks met to pack $2,703.54 worth of items for The Haven of Lake and Sumter Counties. They packed 100 children's welcome kits, containing a toothbrush, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, lip gloss, soap, shampoo, tissue packs and handheld toys. They also packed 100 adult welcome kits, containing soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss, deodorant and a shaver. The kits are given to women and their children when they arrive at the safe house. Additionally, 17 birthday kits of cake mix, frosting and candles were donated for mothers to make their child a birthday cake while at the house. The Anna Miller Circle provided $226 worth of items for assault packs for the Haven nurses to provide replacement clothes for rape survivors, which include soap, shampoo, flip-flops, T-shirts, sports bras, underwear, crackers, Gatorade, water and snacks.
