Ingham Lions Club Supports Community Flood Recovery

The Lions Club of Ingham has been actively assisting community members affected by the recent flood event.

President Col Dallavanzi, along with Lions members Rita Lynch, Ed Morris, and Angie Morris, visited the community support centre to present Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre staff with sheet sets for individuals to use that are in need of extra help during these challenging times.

Additionally, the Lions team attended the Meals on Wheels premises to officially hand over the newly constructed Freezer room.

This facility was made possible through a 50-50 donation from the Australian Lions Foundation and the Ingham Lions Club, aimed at supporting the new Meals on Wheels staff and community.

President of Meals on Wheels, Rita Phillips, joined Col Dallavanzi and members of the Lions Club for the handover ceremony.

While the Lions Club has completed the initial response phase of assistance related to the flood event, they are now transitioning into the recovery phase.

The Lions Club will be reaching out to community members who have not yet received assistance or who require additional support to apply for a grant. More information regarding the grant will be made available soon.

In the meantime, community members in need of assistance to purchase goods or for other support are encouraged to contact 0427 737 675 or email lionsclubofingham@gmail.com, or reach out to the Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre.
