Donation Creation / Community Giving

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!
