“Even the strongest blizzard starts with a single snowflake”
THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
IS THE SPIRIT OF GIVING
On December 20 2022, the Springfield Gardens
th
Lions Club Inc. delivered wrapped gifts to the
children at Dove House, a shelter, sponsored by
Volunteers of America, for battered women and
their children.
The Lions and Leos purchased gifts for each of
the 24 girls and boys residing at the shelter.
Several additional toys were purchased for any
children who may enter the shelter during the
holiday.
The gifts were carefully wrapped by members of
Springfield Gardens LC Lions Randy Lewis, Stephanie Simeon, the Springfield Gardens Leos Club. They selected
Gloria Garraway and Ms. Jupiter
brightly colored festive wrapping paper, that
would bring smiles to the children ranging in age
from 4 months to 17 years. The gifts (toys and
gift cards) were left with the Dove House staff
and the Director, Mrs. Jupiter promised to
distribute them on Christmas morning.
The Lions and Leos understand that every child
deserves a toy for Christmas no matter what
their situation may be.
