Toukley Lions Club and Northlakes Leos have donated more than $53,000 to community activities already this year.
“Even during these times of economic hardship the generosity of our locals has been overwhelming and enabled our Lions members to achieve our goals in offering help to those in need,” a spokesperson said.
“Whilst Toukley Lions has made generous donations to the Lions Foundation causes such as Lions Health, Lions Spinal research, Lions Diabetes, Children’s Mobility, the bulk of our activities has been and always will be the care and support of our locals.
“These include Toukley Neighbourhood Centre, World’s Big BBQ for Kids Cancer and our newest project, Elsie’s Retreat for Palliative Care at Wyong Hospital.
“Special mention goes out to the Lions Leo Club (a project of Gorokan Kanwal Lions); their junior members at Northlakes High School, with the support of amazing teachers, have raised over $15,000 and donated to more than 30 recipients.”
A full list of the club’s activities and advice on how to offer support can by found on the Toukley Lions Club Facebook page.
“We encourage any community groups or organisations to get on board with us and support Toukley Lions and Northlakes Leos,” the spokesperson said.
“Come join us and help us make a difference.”
