Food Drive

THANK YOU LINCOLN, for supporting the
36th Annual Beamsville & District Lions Food Drive

Another Lions Food Drive is in the books!
The day was beautiful and the amount of support from all walks of the Lincoln community was amazing. 

We are at 22,000lbs and counting, as donations are still being dropped off. 
22,000lbs is equivalent to 22,000 meals that CCWN will provide to families, seniors and individuals in the upcoming months!  
We also collected over $5,500 in funds which is equivalent to over 10,000 meals!

On behalf of Community Care of West Niagara and the Beamsville & District Lions Club,
we would like to thank everyone who volunteered, or sponsored this event. 
We appreciate you for making this annual event a success.
With your help, we were able to collect, sort, date sort, load, weigh and
unload this year’s non-perishable food donations into our warehouse at CCWN.   

With the current climate and the competing pressures of today’s economy,  we are thankful for the community that comes together to support CCWN, so we can

 "Growing our Community Beyond Hunger"
