SAN FRANCISCO CHINATOWN LIONS - We would like to express our sincere gratitude to CLF for the generous grant, which helped made this Rise Against Hunger Project possible. This vital support enabled us to carry out the event successfully and extend meaningful assistance to communities facing food insecurity. Working together efficiently, the team packed 15,000 food bags during the event. Each food bag is designed to provide meals for four people, allowing this project to serve approximately 60,000 individuals in need. This accomplishment highlights the collective impact that can be achieved through service and collaboration.
