Menlo Lions Raised How Much Money?
Members of the Summerville Modern Woodmen of America #8466 recently helped raise money for the Menlo Lions Club by helping make and sell Brunswick stew.
The event held on Feb. 9 raised $3,116.43. This includes $1,250 matched by Modern Woodmen’s home office through the organization’s Matching Fund program. The money will be used for purchasing eyewear and hearing aids for those who can’t afford them.
The Matching Fund program offers Modern Woodmen members nationwide the chance to show their support for a community cause, organization or individual in need by holding fundraisers. Modern Woodmen matches money raised up to $2,500. These fundraising projects contribute more than $6.5 million to community needs nationwide each year.
Coordinated by local Modern Woodmen members, chapters provide opportunities to connect through social activities and volunteer projects in their communities.
