Ashland Lions Meat Raffles

Ashland Lions is kicking off another great year of meat raffles! Our first one will be held on Saturday, October 5 at 12pm, at TJs Food and Spirits in Ashland, and continue on the first Saturday of each month throughout the winter. As always there will be great food, fun people and great meat to choose from. See you there!

Christmas trees are coming!

It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is only a month away. But do you know what opens the day after Thanksgiving? The Lions Christmas Tree lot! This will be our second year selling trees at our new location - the Ashland Farmers Market on Front Street! We’ll have lots more surprises in store this year as well. Please consider buying your fresh Christmas tree from the Ashland Lions this year and donate to a great cause. Cash, credit cards and Venmo are accepted. Remember, Lions give back 100% of fundraising to eye research and the local community. Hope to see you soon!

Coats for Kids and Families

Ashland Lions Club is partnering again with Anton’s Cleaners for the Coats for Kids and Families Drive.  We are collecting warm winter coats for adults and children. CFK&F accepts warm winter coats that are gently used, good quality and all sizes.  Coats should not have rips, tears, broken zippers or permanent stains.  They will be cleaned by Anton’s Cleaners and made available to local nonprofits, social service agencies and schools to ensure that the coats are given to those who really need them, free of charge. Coats may be dropped off in Ashland at Focus on Fitness (290 Eliot St.), Cleaner’s Choice and Tailor (193 Main St.) and at the Public Safety Building (12 Union Street).
