Food Drive Results & Save the Date for 2027
The 37th Annual Beamsville & District Lions Food Drive has received over 22,500lbs and counting, plus over $6700 in monetary donations!
The pounds were almost what we received last year, but we have 5 extra rolling carts filled with food, above and beyond what came into the warehouse in 2025! That is roughly 100 more black crates of non-perishable items!! It appears that people are donating a variety of items, not just heavy cans of beans!!
