The Laconia-Gilford Lions Club partnered with the Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Society on a pet food drive benefitting both the Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul Society.

“We have all heard about people having to choose between providing for themselves and for their animals,” explained Club member Lori Chandler. “Pets are vital to many — seniors, children, families and as service animals. When we learned that both the Salvation Army and St. Vincent stocked supplies to give assistance to those struggling to support their pets, we wanted to help.”

“We thank the Lions Club for all their help at the pet food drive. This project, “Food for Furry Friends,” was a big success. It means so much that you donated your time and energy to help,” added Patricia Sommers of the Social Justice Committee.
