District 18N Wildfire Relief – Statewide Call for Support
Georgia Lions,

As you have likely seen through recent news reports, devastating wildfires are currently impacting several communities across Georgia—most significantly within District 18N.
Lions in the affected areas are already responding. Clubs in and around Douglas and other impacted communities have mobilized quickly, working alongside local fire departments and emergency personnel. Supplies are being collected, organized, and delivered directly to those on the front lines.

In Douglas, a community still recovering from Hurricane Helene, Lions and Leos are once again stepping forward. Local collection sites have been established, and volunteers are actively receiving, organizing, and transporting supplies to the areas of greatest need. The Douglas Lions Club is currently serving as a central coordination point for these efforts, with the support of District 18N GST Leader, Cathy Williams.

At this time, financial contributions are the most effective way to assist, as they allow for the immediate purchase of specifically requested supplies for firefighters and affected families. Needs are evolving rapidly and will continue to shift in the days ahead.

How You Can Help:
• Make a financial contribution to support relief efforts
• Encourage your club members to participate
• Continue to monitor updates as additional needs are identified

To Contribute:
Venmo: (please note “for fire” in the memo)
Or mail a check to:
P.O. Box 2095
Douglas, GA 31534

Clubs or individuals who wish to donate supplies or coordinate additional support may contact us directly for guidance to ensure efforts are aligned with current needs. Cathy Williams email address is: [email protected] and phone contact is: 912-389-6106.
Lions, this is a time for us to come together in service. Your support will make an immediate and meaningful difference for both the brave men and women fighting these fires and the families affected by them.

Thank you for your continued commitment to serving others.

In Service,
John Goodin
District Governor, 18N
“Grow to Serve, Lead to Inspire”
