Lions Clubs extends a helping hand once more
The Lions Clubs International District 204, Region 2 members donated food and supplies last April 25 to 86 families in the CNMI, most of whom are experiencing income loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each beneficiary received a case of cup noodles and a pack of butane.
According to a Lions Clubs statement, the assistance was extended not just to foreign workers, but to other nationalities as well.
The donations were made possible with the help of Lions members from Guam, District Gov. Fely Angel, zone chair Blanca Imbo, assistant cabinet secretary Rose Moore, and from Saipan Fil-Am Lions Club members Jean Pumatong, Socorro Huliganga, and Mario Mayuga.
“Kindness and generosity, in times like these, really matters,” said Annamae Adaza, region 2 chairperson.
Earlier this month, the Lions Clubs also assisted 30 families by giving out $35 vouchers that could be used to purchase food and other necessities. Twenty Kentucky Fried Chicken meals were also distributed to people in Chalan Kanoa who have been staying in tents since Super Typhoon Yutu in 2018.
The District 204, Region 2 is composed of six clubs: Saipan Fil-American Lions Club, Saipan Unity LC, Saipan Marianas LC, Saipan Alliance LC, Saipan Natibu LC, and Saipan Centennial LC. Each club is autonomous. Additionally, clubs can create their own fundraising and projects and the six clubs can work as one, as a Region 2.
