Lions Club makes ‘significant’ donation to Prairie Gleaners Society
MEDICINE HAT, AB – It’s a story of one good-willed organization helping another within the community.
Today, the Lions Club of Medicine Hat donated $6,000 to the Prairie Gleaners Society, for a new bag-sealer in their production line.
“It’s something we felt we had to do,” explained Lions Club Vice-President, James Higgins. “They feed people around the world in need and at the Lions Club, our motto is ‘We Serve’ and this is part of that service. Not only giving back to our local community, but to the world as well.”
For those unaware, the Prairie Gleaners Society receives vegetables from farmers and greenhouses in the area, that are deemed as ‘rejects’ or ‘surplus’. Rejects meaning they don’t look aesthetically pleasing.
