Greater Hartford Host Lions Club

Greater Hartford Host Lions Club The Greater Hartford Host Lions Club serves the communities of Hartford and West Hartford.

In 2014 the West Hartford Lions Club, founded in 1946, joined with the Hartford Host Lions Club, founded in 1922, to form the Greater Hartford Host Lions Club. The goal of the club, as in the past, will be "To Serve," but now it will be to an expanded area. Support will continue to be given to such vision organizations as the Low Vision Center in New Britain, Oak Hill School, amd Connecticut Radio

Information Service for the Blind (CRIS). Scholarship programs will focus on graduating seniors who are college bound. Needy children and adults who require eye exams and/or glasses will be helped. The American School for the Deaf (ASD) and Childrens Village wil continue to receive Lions Club support, as will as number of other child and adult organizations.

We had a great time wrapping holiday presents for the students at Oak Hill yesterday. For those who don't know, each year the teachers and staff at Oak Hill raise money to buy gifts for the students, many of whom come from low income families and may not otherwise receive holiday gifts at home. It's truly a wonderful thing that they do and we are glad to help in our own small way.

We had another great morning sorting food at Foodshare yesterday! This is a particularly busy time at Foodshare, between the Thanksgiving holiday and hardship caused by the recent government shutdown. Whatever you do, don't let Mark Seger see you throw away an edible potato!

We had another terrific morning volunteering at Foodshare! This was our first time working at the Wallingford warehouse, now that the Bloomfield facility is closed. What an operation! Glad to see so many staff and volunteers there to help our neighbors in need during these difficult times.
