The New Hyde Park North Lions hold their annual food drive to help local pantries stock their shelves, as there are people who are facing hunger in the community. Local food banks, shelters, and soup kitchens, perform a great service to the community at large, and they need the help of many hands to do this.
The New Hyde Park North Lions thanked the patrons of King Kullen for their generosity and to the store, for allowing them the opportunity to perform this great service. It is hoped that through this food drive it raised awareness about hunger, and may inspire others to take action.
The New Hyde Park North Lions Club continues their service year-round by collecting clothes and food, and work together to raise funds through fund-raisers to help support the needy in the community, and numerous charitable organizations.
