First Christian Contines Support for Lions Care & Share


As they have for the past seven years the good folks at Wellsville's First Christian Church continued their support of the Lions Club Care & Share. This past Wednesday they hosted a fund raising dinner to support the Christmas project.

For 26 years the Wellsville Lions Club have annually raised money to furnish Christmas dinners and toys for the young ones of families that are less fortunate than ourselves. Last year they furnished 180 Christmas dinners and over 200 toys to children. This year is no different. Lions Club member Gary Malone told us that the First Christian Church have been having a benefit dinner to annually support the Care & Share project.

This year's menu was creamed chicken over biscuits, salad, "smashed" potatoes, green beans and dessert. The members of First Christian cook and serve the dinners and the church picks up the tab for the food. The money for every ticket sold goes to Care & Share.

Donations are still being gratefully accepted for the Care & Share project. Contact any member of the Lions Club.

Shown in the collage above are pictures of last Wednesday's benefit dinner. It's a picture of neighbor helping neighbor in a good demonstration of the Christmas spirit. Although not everyone pictured is a member of the Lions Club, everyone that was there was showing their support.
