THE HUNGER REPORT

For District I Cabinet Meeting, Virtual

Saturday, February 3, 2024

To My Fellow Cabinet Members in District I,

Here we are, once again, at the time of year when local food banks are at their 

lowest level. It’s a perfect opportunity for our clubs to help with that situation.

How?

Go to the LCI website and locate the project planner entitled the Food Club 

Initiative. You will partner with a local food bank or similar organization, an 

entity that receives food. Three steps are involved in making this project work:

1. Selecting an organization to receive the food.

2. Determining the style of food collection.

3. Promoting the food collection process.

It’s just that simple! This is something that’s been mentioned several times this 

year. Two more things that have been repeated over the year, as regards hunger 

issues, info available on the LCI website, are Hunger Grants and Direct Food 

Service.

To spread the message of hunger, I’ve used our District-I bulletin and have also 

contacted ZCs and Lions Club Officers, regarding this information available to 

clubs and encouraging them to forward it on and to implement it in their clubs.

On a more personal note, my home club of Leavenworth is hoping to have 

another food drive this spring. Last year we collected 429 pounds of food for 

the local food bank! It’s an easy and fulfilling project. Please think about doing 

a food drive soon. People are hungry out there. Thank you.

Let no one go hungry…...We Serve!
