LIONS CLUB NEWS

Howard Area Lions Club will have their Food Bank distribution on Aug. 17 for residents who live in the Beech Creek area of Clinton County and those of Centre County in the Lions Club service area that missed their food bank pickup date already. The Lions have changed the hours for picking up food. Food bank hours are now from noon-3 p.m. at the former Beech Creek Elementary School. Those coming for food aid should remain in your vehicles and wear a mask when approached by the food bank workers. Please bring your empty boxes back each month so the Lions can refill them for the food distribution.

If anyone has a freezer that works but you are not using it and would care to see it go to a good home please consider donating it to the Lions Club for their food bank program use. The club members would be happy to come pick up the freezer from your home. The Howard Area Food Bank contact person is Lion Ron Davy who can be reached at 570-962-2407.
