BARKER — The Barker Lions club has found new ways to aid those with challenges in the community.
Starting with Lions Club International’s charge as Helen Keller’s Knights of the Blind, the local club collected used eye glasses for years. That was expanded to hearing aids. Today, the Barker Lions have a full lending closet for those with various challenges.
Recently, the members of the club installed two chair lifts to aid local residents with access to their homes. Throughout the Barker community are a number of wheelchair ramps and chair lifts like the one pictured today.
To aid in this mission, the Barker Lions accept donations of wheelchairs and lift chairs. Their lending closet has various other mobility aids for those who need them. If you have items you would like to donate to the closet, email Roar@BarkerLions.org or call 716-772-7369. For those in the Barker School District in need of assistance, please contact the Lions either of these two ways.
Meeting on the first Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m., each meeting includes dinner and speaker. For more information about Barker Lions and its projects, go to www.BarkerLions.org. To become involved in one of our projects, to speak at a meeting or to be a guest at a meeting, call 778-7001 or email Roar@BarkerLions.org.
All WNY is made possible thanks to coffee and sleep deprivation.
We appreciate your readership. We like money, too.
