The Lions Club helps provide needed services to the Southern Dutchess County area including, sight/vision, hearing, hunger, childhood cancer, diabetes and others. Lions Clubs International is an American secular, non-political service organization founded by Melvin Jones in 1917. As of April 2020, it had over 46,000 local clubs and more than 1.4 million members in over 207 countries around the world.
Here in Beacon, the Lions Club just completed a food drive collection for Veterans at Key Food. Says the Beacon Lion's Club: "Our motto at Beacon Community Lions Club is: 'We Serve'. If you ever dreamt of being great in your life, be of service to others." If you are interested in getting involved as a volunteer or by donating, visit their Facebook page.
You may have also seen them at the Spirit of Beacon Day, or the Beacon Back To School event from I Am Beacon, and several other mission-driven services.
Until November 18th, the Turkey On Every Table food drive collection is happening at Key Food as well. Donate at the checkout.
This is for the weekend shoppers! To gather their things now over the weekend during their errands, and bring it in this week to Antalek and Moore, who is passionate about hosting a donation drive in support of the U.S. ARMY Destroyer Company from the 10th Mountain Division.
