Hunger

Bread Pickup and Delivery

Our Lions work behind the scenes with our local Subway and Piggly Wiggly to deliver bread for our local food pantry. The bread is picked up and delivered multiple times a week, every week by various Lions. Our Lions also volunteer at the pantry multiple times during the week.

Salvation Army Bell Ringing

Every Winter our Lions can be found ringing bells at Pardeeville Piggly Wiggly on behalf of the Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign. All donations stay local and help provide meals, shelter and Christmas gifts for children who may otherwise go without. 

Second Harvest Mobile Food Pantry

Our Club coordinates, communicates and provides volunteers for the Mobile Pantry the fourth Monday of each month at St. Faustina Parish in Pardeeville, regardless of weather. Our recipients remain in their vehicles. We serve over 100 families in about 2 hours.

Our Lions and volunteers:

• Park and direct cars to aid in the flow of traffic

• Unload Second Harvest truck

• Arrange the food on pallets and bag, if necessary

• Register and monitor the flow of recipients

• Place food in recipients’ vehicles

• Give recipients a comfort zone and encouragement

• Clean up area after food is distributed

• Load any material to be taken to recycling

• Load any left-over food to truck for Wyocena Food Pantry

• Complete all paperwork to Catholic Charities and Second Harvest (Coordinators)

If you’d like to volunteer to help, please stop by around 2:30 PM on the day of the pantry. Our coordinators will help you from there. We have many Lions and volunteers that do this monthly and can help guide you.
