Association Jeanne Jugan member and apartment Resident Rita Hutman and Jeanne Jugan Center Resident have a good time folding towels for the Residents.
“Being an AJJ member makes it possible to be with the Residents in a daily stream of business and activities – they are always so grateful. It is a blessing. – Rita Hutman
