CHRISTMAS GIFT: Brand New Winter Care Package (Blankets, Gloves, Scarves, Beanies, Socks, Snow Ponchos, Flash Lights, Backpacks) for Homeless Shelters in Strafford County.

Christmas can be a lonely and sad time for Homeless living away from their families and homes. They might have numerous disappointments in their lives, and they have little hope that things will change in the future. The message of love and hope is given to them by fulfilling one small wish on Christmas. Club Secretary, Lion Alina Karki created a Christmas gift program for Homeless Shelters.

In a time when our region has been hit hard by winter weather, staying warm and safe is more important than ever. We are planning to donate Brand new winter Care Package (Blankets, Gloves, Scarves, Beanies, Socks, Snow Ponchos, Flash Lights, Backpacks) as Christmas gifts for Homeless. The Christmas gift we will be giving them will hopefully make them smile and bring them a bit of hope and warmth.

Please drop off your gift to the address below if you would like to donate a Christmas gift for Homeless. Lion Alina Karki can be reached at [email protected] if you have any questions regarding this program.

Dear blood donors, each donner will save approximately three lives with your blood. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

Thank you District Governor Lion Marie Valliere, Lions District 44H, for being present and encouraging us. Your valuable presence has helped make this drive remarkable.

We would like to thank our Volunteers team

Leo Kaberi Gurung
Lion Sudip Pant
Lion Alina Karki
Lion Sachin Rai
Lion Hitman Gurung
Lion Pradip Karki
Lion Shamvu Gurung

for your hard-work in this Drive.

Also, we are extremely sorry for the people who were interested but were not able to donate blood as the Red Cross told us at the last hour that they were going to collect no more than 21 pints of blood due to time limitations even though we scheduled 30 people online and had lots of walk-in people. Sorry again as it was out of our hands.

Lastly, NH Everest Centennial Lions Club would like to thank again all donors, Red Cross employees, volunteers, and the people who were present and encouraged us there. It was a grand success as we reached the top level of blood count because of all of you.

We will continue to serve again, stay safe.
