Duxbury Lions Club

Our Lions Share Food Pantry is looking for someone to deep clean the pantry once a month. We've lost contact with our regular person and need this done on a regular basis. If interested, please email [email protected]. Thanks!

Duxbury Lions Club is always looking for new members. We especially need help with social media/website updating, and public relations/media and people with fundraising skills. Or no skills at all but willing to just attend 1-one hour meeting per month and help in our fundraising events and causes. 100% of all money raised by Lions goes to charity, so you can really feel good about making a difference in our community and our world. Get in touch with us at [email protected].

SOS!! OUR “LIONS SHARE” FOOD PANTRY NEEDS VOLUNTEERS. CAN YOU HELP?
With some of our regular volunteers unable to continue to work their shifts through the summer and some into the fall, we find ourselves short-handed. Without volunteers we are not able to operate the food pantry. We are appealing to our community to lend a hand. We need in-house volunteers and drivers who can pick up food donations from Trader Joe's and help unload these deliveries and put away the food. If you are able and willing to help us, please email Marie Van Slyck at [email protected] for a list of the positions that are available. Thank you!

The Lions Club "Lions Share" Food Pantry needs help! We are in need of volunteer drivers to pick up donations weekly at Trader Joe's in Hanover on Friday mornings between 8:30-9:00 a.m. A truck or SUV is best as pickups are sometimes quite large. We also need a couple volunteers to meet our drivers unload, weigh, & shelve the food. If you can spare a few hours each week or each month, your contributions are invaluable & will directly impact the lives of those facing food insecurity. If you can help, please contact Marie Van Slyck at [email protected]. Please SHARE this post. Thank you!

Thank you to all Duxbury residents who took the time to purchase and put out a bag of groceries for our Lions Club / Postal Workers food drive on Saturday. It was a big success, and we were so pleased to put away all 560 lbs. of food! We wish to also thank our dedicated postal workers for the extra time and effort it took to collect all of these bags on their regular mail routes. Together, working as a team, we are making a difference!

It's that time of year again! Our local mail carriers will be participating in the NALC Food Drive on Saturday, May 11th. We have had great success with this food drive in the past and hope you will all remember to put your bagged non-perishable food donations by your mailbox this year. Your mail carrier will pick up your bags when delivering your mail. All food donations will be going to our own "Lions Share" Food Pantry here in Duxbury. Monetary donations are always welcome and now easy. Just click the "Donate" button or mail a check payable to "Duxbury Lions Charitable Foundation" with the note "Food Drive" to us at P. O. Box 1072, Duxbury, MA 02331. Thank you for helping us out again this year!

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
In light of the weather forecast for tomorrow, be advised that the snow policy for the Lions Share Food Pantry is that if the Duxbury schools are closed due to bad weather conditions, the food pantry will also be closed. This will apply to tomorrow's impending bad weather and throughout the winter. No school = no food pantry.

We are so excited to share that Duxbury Lions Club has been selected to benefit from Stop & Shop Pembroke's Bloomin’ 4 Good Program, created to fight hunger across the communities they serve.

For the month of January, a $10.99 bouquet in the sleeve marked “Bloomin’ 4 Good” from the Stop & Shop in Kingston will brighten a home or make someone’s day while also directing a $1 donation to our Lions Share Food Pantry. Help us by starting off giving in 2024. Happy New Year!

The Food Pantry has an immediate need for a fill-in volunteer for a few months. We are in need of a volunteer to work at the food pantry every Friday from 4-6 pm logging in the patrons as they arrive. It's mostly a desk job, but we need someone reliable, detail-oriented, and with legible handwriting. If you or someone you know is able to help us, please send us a private message on Facebook. Thank you!

If you need a beautiful floral bouquet next month, be sure to go to Stop & Shop in Pembroke. Our Duxbury Lions Club "Lions Share" Food Pantry will receive $1 for every bouquet purchased. Every $1 helps! Thanks!
