It's not just the baked goods that makes LuAnn's special. It's our community too. We love to foster that community with special programs such as our monthly "Donation Creation," a designated drink that benefits a different charity every month and our "Pay It Forward" bulletin board, where you pay for a friend's favorite treat and post the coupon on the bulletin board for them to find and redeem. 

Join us in giving to our wonderful community!
