Lions Club District Zones 8 and 9 will be holding a combined meeting Feb. 2 to make a difference by working together to fight hunger in the local community.
Members, family and friends from clubs in Ponce Inlet, South Daytona, Ormond-by-the-Sea, Ormond Beach and Palm Coast will gather together at the Piggotte Center, 504 Big Tree Road, South Daytona, to package nonperishable food for local food banks. Leo’s, the club’s high school students, will also be participating.
The number one purpose of this food packing event is to get Lions from different clubs to improve camaraderie, and work together for a good cause to help those less fortunate. Last year a little over 10,000 meals were packed.
“Members were disappointed when the meals were shipped to Honduras for distribution.” Lions Club Zone 8 Chair Jeff Follmer said. “This year members wanted to make sure all the meals stay local and working with Hunger Fight from Jacksonville.”
Some of the local food banks benefiting from this event will be the Second Harvest Food Bank, Halifax Urban Ministries, the Jewish Federation and the St. Vincent DePaul Food Bank at St. Brendan’s Catholic Church.
