LCAC Lends a Hand with Spring Cleaning Baskets— Volunteers needed Saturday May 11th

Need a new roll of paper towels, or tube of toothpaste?  You just go to the cupboard or store, right?  For many Lakewood families and seniors it’s not that simple.

Recipients of food stamps, or SNAP and WIC programs, as they are more currently known are unable to use their program benefits to purchase essential non-food items. These items much be purchased with the limited cash income they receive. This is where organizations such as Lakewood Charitable Assistance Corp (LCAC) come into play.  Each Spring LCAC and their volunteers assemble Spring Cleaning Baskets to distribute to Lakewood families and seniors in need. These baskets contain a variety of paper products, cleaning supplies and toiletries.

Saturday May 11, LCAC needs volunteers to help pack reusable grocery bags with Spring cleaning items and then deliver them to 150 Lakewood families and seniors in need. We will be gathering in the parking lot at Lakewood Masonic Temple (15300 Detroit Ave, corner of Detroit and Andrews Ave.) at 9:00 am to pack the bags and should finishing up deliveries by 11:00 am.

How can you help?  Just lend a hand! Bring a friend, or make a new one. Join us for as little or as much as you can. There is no need to register, just show up at the Masonic Temple, Saturday May 11 9:00 am- 11:00 am.
