QUEENS COMMUNITY LIONS CLUB

Offers Needed Service During Pandemic

In partnership with Aveena Home Care, this
one year old club continued the mission to
show gratitude and love to the Frontline
Workers and other needful communities
during this COVID-19 Pandemic. On May
29th, 125 hot meals with beverages and
cookies were served to the doctors and
nurses at Jamaica Hospital in Queens, New
York.

We are so grateful to GT Kingston and QCLC makes a difference during crisis
Shivram Bakery for their kind donations of
meals, bread, tennis rolls, and masks to be
redistributed to the communities of need in Door to door service
Bucks County, PA. We acknowledge the
dedication of the Lions who volunteered to QCLC servers
drive out of town to conduct the distribu- others
tions. The next day, “Care Packages” were
presented to 30 neighborhood seniors who
live alone and 60 hot dinners were gifted to
the employees at Rivers Fund Pantry. These
minimum - wage staffers work for long
hours to ensure that their equally economi-
cally underserved neighbors receive suffi-
cient provisions for their families.

Special kudos to Lions Patricia Raghunan-
dan and Hemant Somai for their persever- Bags of
ance and Lion’s Spirit. On behalf of the groceries
club, they made door to door allocations of are ready
hampers, stocked with groceries, sodas,
water, juices and face masks to specially
identified needy elders in the community.

In another effort to make a difference in the
community, Queens Community Lions Club Dinner is served to day laborers
served 35 hot meals, water and face mask to
the day laborers seeking employment in the
parking lot at Home Depot. During this
frustrating season of social distancing, job
opportunities are scarce and about 90% of
them return to their families without the
benefit of a day's pay.
