Community helping community is what is being aimed for with a $1,000 donation to tackle food insecurity.
The Batawa Lions Club is providing that support to Frankford Food Pantry, a contribution aimed at helping meet the rising demand for food support across the region.
This donation reflects the club’s long‑standing mission to support local families and ensure that essential services remain strong during challenging times.
With food bank usage increasing significantly over the past year, local organizations have been working tirelessly to keep up with the growing need. The Frankford Food Pantry, like many others across the province, has seen more families and individuals turning to its services as the cost of living continues to rise.
“Supporting our community is at the heart of everything we do,” stated Batawa Lions Club president Ron Puccini in a media release.
“As demand for food assistance continues to climb, we believe it’s more important than ever to step up and help ensure that no one in our community goes without.”
This donation is just one example of the many ways the Batawa Lions Club works to strengthen the region through volunteer‑driven initiatives.
Each winter, members maintain free, volunteer‑run outdoor skating rinks, giving families a safe and welcoming place to enjoy the season.
