LIONS 4 KIDS HOUSE WISH LIST

Click here for a formatted wish list document.

Did you know... there are several thousand kids in the above districts who qualify for free or reduced lunch programs? Lions 4 Kids House begins its third school year providing clothing, personal care items and school supplies to kids for whom every circumstance is beyond their control. National studies overwhelmingly show that children who don’t feel they fit in with their peers are more likely to do poorly in school, drop out altogether, get into mischief, or in trouble with the law.

The goal of Lions4Kids House is very simple: to provide children in need with the tools they need to be stylishly dressed, clean and groomed, with the supplies necessary to be successful in school so they are on a level playing field with their peers, avoiding ridicule and retaining their dignity. If the kids are successful in school they stand a better chance of being successful in life, and that is good for them and our communities!

Since we opened our doors on September 2, 2006 we have had over 2000 visitations from kids in our communities, and the need continues to grow. The Bonney Lake Lions Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization #38-3753543. If you wish a tax receipt, please leave your mailing address and/or email address with your donation, and a receipt will gladly be provided.
