For its 2025 Christmas service project, the Little River Lions Club collected and donated food to the North Strand Helping Hands Food Bank.
Club members distributed 750 empty collection bags with flyers in the neighborhoods of Hidden Lakes Village and Lafayette Park and later picked up 2,625 pounds of non-perishable food for the food bank at Helping Hands for distribution.
The Little River Lions Club would like to thank Lowe’s Foods in Little River and Boulineau’s Grocery Store for donating the bags and the people of the two neighborhoods who so generously donated the food. The program has become a community tradition and the club greatly appreciates the community support. The club would also like to thank the students from North Myrtle Beach High School who volunteered to help the Lions this year with the pick up of the food from the two neighborhoods. Also the volunteers from Helping Hands, Judy and Dave Viveralli and Debbie Curtis. They were a tremendous help and the club is deeply grateful for their help.
