Lord Baltimore Lions Begin 7^th Year of Service at Delaware Food Bank

 Members of the Lord Baltimore Lions worked the Friday morning shift on January 27, 2023. For the 6 lion volunteers the day had a special significance. The service project at the DE Food Bank marked the anniversary date of the Lord Baltimore Lions initial volunteer date at the facility in Milford. It was on Friday, January 27, 2017, when our LBLC Team worked first as a group. Lion John Monahan, Club President in 2016-2017, recalls that the first day of work was sunny and cold. “We were not sure what we would be doing but there were 8 of us that first day.” Lion John recalled, “ we were packing juices in back packs and one of our LBLC members packing the juices kept opening the boxes with a sharp knife. He did not realize he was puncturing some of the juice boxes. We could not locate the leaking items. We figured we might get fired that first day”. Now the LBLC is beginning Year Seven.

Since beginning this special service project, 26 different Lions have worked in the Delaware Food Bank and some of our members working on that sunny day in 2017 still remain as loyal regular volunteers for each shift to this day. Our LBLC volunteers serve twice monthly, covering the afternoon shift 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm on the second Monday of the month and the morning shift, the last Friday of the month, 8;45 am to 11:30 am.
