Whether you want to support an organization making a difference or just want some yummy fried chicken, the Riverside Township Lions Club has the event for you.
The Lions Club is set to host its annual chicken dinner fundraiser Sunday, April 21 from noon to 5 p.m. in Riverside’s village hall at 27 Riverside Rd. Attendees will be able to enjoy fried chicken, coleslaw, mashed potatoes and corn, as well as coffee, punch and dessert. Tickets will cost $20 each and can be purchased from Lions Club members or at the door.
The Lions Club is encouraging attendees to bring used eyeglasses to the fundraiser so it can repurpose them.
“These recycled eyeglasses are given to people in need, with the help of various medical missionaries, in Central and South America and around the world,” the club said in a statement. “When the eyeglasses arrive in these countries, doctors and technicians conduct eye exams and provide a free pair of prescription eyeglasses that are as close as possible to that person’s sight needs.”
The Lions Club supports organizations that provide services to blind and deaf people as well as groups that assist people with other disabilities and local charities. For more information, visit the club’s website at e-clubhouse.org/sites/riversidetownship.
