In a heartfelt demonstration of community solidarity, the Greenwich Lions Club has generously donated $500 to Meals-on-Wheels, Inc. of Greenwich, reinforcing their shared commitment to supporting vulnerable residents. Greenwich Lions Club Service Chairperson and Secretary Alan Gunzburg accompanied by his service dog, Denise and Lions Club President Nora Yanet Parry stopped by Meals-on-Wheels to present the check.
The collaboration between these two organizations exemplifies the profound impact of community partnerships. “This donation not only provides financial support but also serves as a reminder of the power of collective goodwill,” says Willow Buscemi, Meals-on-Wheels of Greenwich program director. “It is through such acts of generosity and collaboration that the fabric of our community is strengthened, ensuring that no neighbor is left behind.”
Meals-on-Wheels of Greenwich plays a crucial role in the community by delivering nutritious meals to seniors, individuals with disabilities, and homebound residents, ensuring they can live without the fear of missing meals. With a dedicated team of volunteers, the organization provides daily meal deliveries, offering not just sustenance but also a vital human connection that combats isolation. Their mission is to enable clients to maintain independence and dignity within their own homes.
The Greenwich Lions Club, a chapter of the global Lions Clubs International network, has been a pillar of service in the community for over a century. Known for initiatives such as combating blindness, supporting youth, providing disaster relief, and caring for the environment, the club embodies the motto “We Serve.” Their recent centennial celebration underscored a legacy of fostering camaraderie and civic responsibility among its members.
