The Greenwich Lions Club continues its tradition of supporting the community by delivering hundreds of fresh grapefruit to Meals-on-Wheels. Doug Carlson, a member of the Lions Club for over 30 years and the current Vice President, personally made the delivery. “We’ve been doing this for years,” Carlson said, noting that the grapefruit donation is provided at no cost to Meals-on-Wheels. “It’s just one way we can give back to those in need.”
Carlson, who has served as both president and treasurer of the Lions Club in the past, emphasized that the organization’s commitment to helping local charities is at the heart of their mission. The Lions Club, an international service organization, is dedicated to supporting causes like vision care, hunger relief, and disaster response.
The partnership between Meals-on-Wheels and the Lions Club ensures that clients receive a wholesome addition to their meal deliveries, brightening their day with fresh produce at no cost to the program.
“This donation makes such a difference for our clients, especially at this time of year,” said Willow Buscemi, program director of Meals-on-Wheels. “We are so grateful to the Lions Club for their continued generosity and support.”
