December 7, 2024 - The Uxbridge Fire Fighters gifted the Uxbridge & District Lions with a donation of $1,456.75 towards Christmas Baskets Project.
The Uxbridge & District Lions have provided families in the Township with food and clothing for the parents and their children at Christmas for a number of years. Each Christmas basket contains an assortment of food items, clothing, gift cards, and special items, that were purchased from donations. Some of the items have been specifically tailored to the individual needs of the recipients.
We also thank “Friend of the Uxbridge Lions Club” supporter Greg Niarchos, the Uxbridge Zehrs general manager, for his continued personal support.
The Lions Club is always ready to provide a helping hand within our community, with various fundraising projects happening throughout the year. Our motto “We Serve” says it all. If you would like to know more about volunteering to work on some of these projects, please call 647-456-4942 for more information.
Thank you to Uxperience for their Generous Donation
The photo shows the Uxperience group presenting a cheque for $7000 toward the Lions Universal Accessible Playground, officially opened July 1, 2023. Our Club was selected to be the recipient for funds from this year's Uxperience "the Times". Local service groups and charities were asked in February to apply for funding in a brief application from Uxperience and do a presentation. We learned that we were selected following our presentation!! The cheque will go a long way to put a shade pergola at the front of the playground to allow sitting in the shade, out of the hot sun. We hope to recognize Uxperience! for their gift with a plaque attached to the pergola following its construction.
On March 14, 2024 Lion Jean Doucet accepted a Certificate of Appreciation of the Uxbridge Lions support for Diabetes Canada from Lion Hugh Adams.
