"We Serve" as Buchanan Lions!
When Buchanan Lions Club members see a need, they respond. Buchanan Lions supports the local Food Pantry which is run and coordinated by the Buchanan Presbyterian Church. The Food Pantry distributes food – twice a month. Lions club members support them individually, but as a club, we help with distribution 6 times a year. At the last distribution, 37 sets of food were handed out supporting more than 80 people. An average set of food for one family includes canned goods and much more.Eyeglasses, Eye and Hearing Testing, Hearing Aids plus so much more…. Parade Participation, Volunteering at the Buchanan Theater and so much more… We are still over the moon with the success of our first annual Buchanan Lions Club English High Tea Party. Everyone (all 14 members) in our club played such an instrumental part in this tea party, but we couldn't have done this without the leadership of one of our own, Lion Danette Heinlein. Our second English High Tea is scheduled in October, and we will continue this event as it is both profitable to our community needs but a ton of fun as well. At the yearly Buchanan Town Carnival, the Buchanan Lions Club sponsors the Bingo Event. Our proceeds went to the James River High School Band uniforms, the Ronald McDonald House in Roanoke near the Clarion Hospital, and the Pediatric Children’s Cancer Center, giving $1000.00 to each.
