200 Plus "NEW" Socks Donation to Salvation Army's Homeless Program From Eye-DAS Members - Giving Back to the Community
Salvation Army

This was a wonderful event and always the start of the season for many of us!

We were honored to be able to support kettle kick off! We were happy to have volunteered to serve by bell ringing on Dec. 2 as well! We loved that you got a great action shot of Pasadena Host Lions Club member, Lion Mitch, putting a $20 into the USC Red Kettle which is one of the highlights of a spirited competition for a great cause, The Salvation Army - Pasadena, CA!

We support raising much needed funds for the programs of one of our partner organizations, the Salvation Army Pasadena Tabernacle Corps. Through ringing the bell at the red kettle, we show the community that there is a huge need in Pasadena for those who are hungry, those who need housing, those who need mental health services and the list goes on and on. We are thankful to be able to serve in this way showing our community support in service to our partners, helping carry the very heavy load together! Thank you Lions Ron, Debbie, Donna and Diana for serving on Saturday the 2nd ringing the bell at the red kettle! We hope those who encounter the red kettle and volunteers will give a little something to help make our world a better place through the services provided by the Salvation Army!

Supporting Our Partners This Morning! Our Pasadena Lion Pride attended the 10th Annual Red Kettle Kick Off Breakfast at the Pasadena Tabernacle Corps. Wonderful to share time together! Thank you Lion President Ron and Lions Mitch, Debbie, Dick, Nicole, Donna, Kirit and Sara, who is a friend to we Lions and of course Lion Kirit's daughter! The joy to our USC Trojans was that the USC Kettle raised more than 3 times the money this year than the UCLA Bruins Kettle. However, we Lions have Trojans and Bruins in our Pride of Lions so we did, as a club, donate equally to both Kettles!

There will be more pictures to come! 📱 It was a fantastic morning sharing breakfast and connecting with like minded individuals 🌹 who believe in our motto "we serve." 🦁 Thank you to everyone who shared time with us on a beautiful Saturday morning where we began this special event remembering our Veterans who have served! 🇺🇸

Our program on Tuesday, November 4 will feature the hope team. If you wish to join us for any of our Lions gatherings, always on the first and third Tuesday of every month, message us, we’d love to have you. 

Look familiar?

You might have recognized Christopher, who has been sleeping at the bus bench on Walnut Street east of Marengo Avenue for several weeks. Christopher has been homeless for the past eight years.

After multiple attempts to find housing for Christopher, the HOPE Team finally gained his trust to connect him with Najwa and Angel from Friends in Deed. Since Christopher speaks French, Susana Porras, the PPD Program Coordinator, provided translation services.

Today, Christopher was temporarily placed in a local motel pending permanent shelter availability. It's a start to a hopeful ending.

Although it may seem small to some, this is a significant victory for the team. On average, it takes about 17 contacts to gain the trust of someone experiencing homelessness, so it requires patience and persistence. While it's not an easy role, the successful outcomes that the HOPE Team achieves make it all worthwhile. One day at a time, they are making a difference in people's lives.

We extend our gratitude to everyone who has assisted Christopher during his journey.❤️
