WOLFEBORO — The holiday season is approaching, and the Wolfeboro Lions Club is offering beautiful poinsettias again to brighten homes and businesses while supporting local community projects. Choose from red, white, or pink poinsettias in six-, eight-, and 10-inch sizes. It’s an easy way to add holiday cheer while giving back.

Orders can be picked up at the Wolfeboro Public Library on Nov. 24, or Dec. 5. Home or business delivery is also available through a Wolfeboro Lions Club member.

All net proceeds from the sale support the Wolfeboro Lions Club’s charitable work and community service. The club assists local residents in need with eye exams, eyeglasses, and hearing aids, conducts vision screenings for children through its annual Operation Kids Sight program, and supports the Granite State Sight and Hearing Foundation.

The club also contributes to numerous local organizations and community programs, including L.I.F.E.

Ministries Food Pantry, Knights Against Hunger, Camp Pride in New Durham, the Wolfeboro Fuel Assistance Fund, and the Wolfeboro Children’s Christmas Fund.

Supporting local youth and education is another important part of the club’s work. The Lions sponsor Scout Troop 165 and award $2,000 scholarships to local students pursuing higher education.

The Wolfeboro Lions also bring the community together through events such as the annual car show and Smith River Canoe Race. In partnership with Wolfeboro Parks and Recreation, the club organizes the annual Gift of Sight and Hearing Turkey Trot, with proceeds benefiting its sight and hearing programs.
