LIONS FOOD DRIVE
35th Annual Beamsville & District Lions Food Drive
Saturday, September 21, 2024
Many people do not realize the extent of hunger’s reach in our community.
2024 is continuing to be difficult for many due to interest rates, cost of housing, and inflationary pressures.
Your donation of food or funds will assist with our emergency hunger relief and housing stability programs.
Join us as we come together to meet the continuous challenge of ensuring that
no one in our community goes without the basic necessities, which so many of us take for granted.
DATE: Saturday, September 21, 2024
Time: 8:30 am to 2:00 pm
Location of Main Sort: Great Lakes Christian High School
Additional Drop Off Locations from Monday Sept. 12 - Monday Sept. 18 : Lincoln Pelham Public Library - Fleming Branch & the Lincoln Pelham Public Library - Rittenhouse Branch
Or during hours of operation at both CCWN Locations.

In memory Douglas Burton, the Beamsville & District Lions Club's 35th Annual FOOD DRIVE benefiting Community Care of West Niagara is around the corner. If you are able, please put out your donation of any size on Sept 21st, every little bit helps! Together we can fill the shelves at CCWN and ensure that all residents of Lincoln are able to put a meal on the table during these tough times. We appreciate anything & everything the generous residents of Lincoln can do to help them "Grow our Community Beyond Hunger".

Volunteer Information
Year after year we need over 200 volunteers to successfully gather, product sort, date sort, and deliver 28,000-32,000lbs of non-perishable food items to the CCWN warehouse for the low income families we serve in Lincoln. This is the only community wide food drive we do each year so we count on donations from anyone who is able to give.
