Somers Cares

Some of us are not faring well during this pandemic. The first indications of this came last year when the local Food Pantry was showing such an increase in demand. The Somers Lions reached out to the town for help and matched any donations to the food pantry. The response was very generous.

Unfortunately, the need is still there and even more prevalent. The hope that the vaccine can help get back to a more stable world is comforting, but not helping with the current situation. For this reason, the Somers Lions would like to start the Somers Cares Fund which we would administrate, make sure the needs are verified, and ensure all donations go to the right place.

Donate to the Somers Food Pantry

The Somers Lions Club has matched $2500 donated to the Somers Food Pantry for helping out during the Corona Virus.

Directly to the Somers Lions Charitable Foundation

All the money donated to the SLC Charitable Foundation is used to help out specific people in need within our community and to the charities that we support.  Here are some of the ways we use our donations:

  • Hands on projects to help families and the town, for example building the pavilion in Reis Park and expand the kitchen in Van Tassel House to provide meals for people in need within the town
  • Summer Camp Scholarship Program
  • High School Senior Community Service Scholarship

Somers Lions Club Supported Charities

The local Charites the Somers Lions help support focus on helping children and their families with serious illnesses, Veterans as well as the Blind and disabled individuals. They need your support.
