Members of the Sunshine Circle Club gathered at Friendship Baptist Church in Lewes on Good Friday, April 15, to pack nearly 100 Easter bags full of snacks, candy and hygiene products for sick and elderly community members.

Hattie Bull said the club, with its motto “Women Involved with Community” have been providing the cheerful bags with donated items from club members for more than 30 years. The club has a list of 70 recipients and any additional bags packed will be delivered to local assisted-living facilities.

Sunshine Circle Club also offers a book scholarship and holds school board election forums, Bull said, and members hope to revive a reading readiness program in collaboration with Cape Henlopen School District and Lewes Public Library.
