Edmonds Lions Club (MD-19 -B3)
Every year, the Edmonds Lions Club sells raffle tickets for gift certificates donated by local businesses, with all proceeds to benefit the Edmonds Food Bank. That wasn’t possible this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so the club put “Plan B” into action: They asked members — and members’ friends and neighbors — to donate food instead.
The resulting donations — totaling 1,062 pounds of food and $575 in cash — were collected on a Saturday and delivered to the food bank.
The three are examples of a younger generation of Lions Club members, and they are thinking about news ways to create volunteer opportunities, said longtime Lions Club member Jim Forgey.
