Lions Launch Recovery Fund For Flood-Affected Families

In the wake of February’s devastating weather event, the Lions District of North Queensland, in partnership with Lions Clubs International, has launched a special Disaster Recovery Fund to support flood-affected families across the Hinchinbrook and Cassowary Coast regions.

With up to $1000 available per household, the fund is designed to assist those who have suffered severe loss or disruption due to the floods. It can help cover essential items and immediate needs, from replacing basic household goods to easing the financial burden of recovery and rebuilding their lives.

For the Lions Club, every contribution counts towards the journey of restoration.

The initiative reflects the Lions’ enduring commitment to community service, ensuring that support is not only fast-tracked but also local and accessible. More than a financial contribution, this fund is a gesture of solidarity, recognising that real recovery takes time, care and collective effort. List your preferred supplier and shop locally too; recipients are encouraged to support their local businesses, which were also impacted by the flood.

For more information or to apply for assistance, contact the Ingham Lions Club at inghamlionsclub@gmail.com.

In times of crisis, the Lions are once again proving that when a disaster strikes, kindness and community rise to meet it.
