Fellow Citizens YOU make a difference
As many of you know, in many cases, the fire victims in CA have lost everything including memories which may have been stored in their homes. While we cannot replace those memories, we can help replace what they have lost including their homes, clothing, and belongings.
From now until February 19, the Holliston Lions Club will be collecting donations for Lions Clubs International Foundation. These funds will be designated for “Area of Greatest Need” and will likely be sent to CA victims who are rebuilding their homes.
While other charitable organizations help in the initial phases of a crisis, and then their focus changes, Lions on the ground make sure that people can rebuild. Initially, Lions International Foundation provides each community with emergency grants. We understand these grants will only go so far (they are $10,00) and are typically used for immediate needs such as shelter, food and clothing. Unlike other organizations, Lions also help AFTER a a disaster to help those impacted directly by the devastating fires by providing funds to help them rebuild their homes.
These funds are available because of generous donations from Lions Clubs across the world. They are accompanied by the generosity of people JUST LIKE YOU who understand how difficult starting over is for so many.
Every dime that is donated to the foundation is distributed to those in need. Not one dime is used for administrative purposes per our charter. Additionally, every dime you donate is fully tax deductible.
If you have the means to help us help those who need our help the most, please consider making a donation during this challenging time.
Donations should be made payable to “Lions International Foundation” and mailed to
Holliston Lions Club, PO Box 6112 Holliston MA 01746
Thank you in advance for your support for this important effort. Together, we can (and will) make a difference. Currently the Holliston Lions has committed $2,500 for the fire relief project and we’re still counting. So please, if you can help us help others. Every dollar COUNTS!
