LIONS Contribute $3000 to Summit GRACE program

The Summit Lions Club Board of Directors approved a one-time $3,000 allocation from our Endowment Fund to help needy local residents during this pandemic crisis. The GRACE program purchases food and household supplies (like toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and toiletries) for more than 175 local households.

GRACE stands for Giving and Receiving Assistance for Our Community’s Essentials and is operated out of the Junior League of Summit in collaboration with Christ Church.

LIONS HOLD FIRST ICE CREAM SOCIAL ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 11

The Summit Lions Club held an Ice Cream Social at Memorial Field in Summit to coincide with the Food Distribution Event by GRACE. Approximately 200 ice cream pops and bars were served up on a hot August 11!!! Kids and families alike certainly enjoyed the free treat Just one of the many ways that the Summit Lions works within the community to give others support.

LIONS Assist with RISE Against Hunger

It was a wonderful collaboration between Rise for Hunger, Summit Lions, Togetherhood/Summit Area YMCA, Central Presbyterian Church and over 125 members of the community, young and old.  Members of the New Providence and District 16 Lion’s Clubs were also there in support of the Summit Lions Club. Lion’s mission is to serve the blind as well as to address hunger and homelessness issues.
