🚨 PLEASE SHARE: Emergency Food & Resource Drive Continues!
Our community is showing up in a big way — and we’re keeping the momentum going through the end of May.

This Saturday, May 30th • 10 AM – 2 PM, you can donate in person at:
👉 Food Lion – Rocky Point
👉 Piggly Wiggly – Burgaw
👉 Pender County Museum - 200 W. Bridgers Street

Donation Drop Off Sites:
- Pender County Housing Authority - Monday - Friday, 9am -3pm
- Pender County Museum - Thursday & Friday, 1 - 4pm

We are also accepting monetary donations. If you can’t make it out to buy supplies, a financial gift still makes a direct impact — every dollar goes toward purchasing emergency items for families preparing for hurricane season.

Your support fuels the Emergency Food & Resource Drive, helping our Pender County neighbors access groceries, hygiene products, and basic essentials. 🥫

We’re proud to partner with Rocky Point Boy Scouts Troop #249 to make sure these resources reach the people who need them most.

Every donation — big or small — strengthens our community and reflects the Lions’ commitment to service, compassion, and care.

💛 Thank you for helping us support Pender County families.
Let’s finish this month strong.

🦁 What a whirlwind few days for our club! From street parties to school screenings, your Burgaw Lions have been busy serving Pender County. Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been up to:

Springfest Friday Night: We had a blast at the street party! Thank you to everyone who stopped by for a cold glass of our famous lemonade and iced tea. Those baked goods went fast—thanks for supporting our local service projects with every bite!

Springfest Saturday: The weather might have been gray and rainy, but our Lions were out in force to bring the sunshine! Even though the crowds were smaller, the spirit of service was huge.

Health Screenings: On Sunday, we supported our friends at the Willard Outreach Community Center for the Care Access Health Screening event & yesterday, we headed over to Heidi Trask High School 😊 We were honored to provide vision screenings for our hardworking middle and high school student-athletes. Ensuring our youth can see clearly is a cornerstone of what we do!

🌟 Big Things Are Coming!
We aren't slowing down. We have some exciting volunteer opportunities hitting the calendar very soon. Whether you’re interested in disaster preparedness, food drives, or helping us with our vision mission, we want YOU to be a part of the pride.
