The Lions, whose motto is “We Serve,“ were proud to be able to aid in this effort. Over the two-day food pack the volunteers filled 684 boxes which will provide 147,744 meals to children. This will provide 404 children with one nutritious meal a day for a year. Lions members were happy to be part of this wonderful program.
