Two groups of library daycare children screened for eye issues

 

Our vision screening team went to the Poulsbo Library twice recently. A total of 20 kids in the daycare were screened, with 6 being referred for further care. Many thanks to Poulsbo Lions Jeff Olson, Karen Reitan, Steve Calhoun and Gretchen Dunmire.

Clean laundry day is this Wednesday!

Help with getting clean laundry is here for the unhoused and low-income individuals in North Kitsap. This Wednesday, April 17, Poulsbo Lions will be at the Village Laundromat from 2-6 p.m. Your last load of dirty clothes should be in the washer by 5:30 p.m. so they'll have time to get in the dryer before we leave.
 

Drop off a suitcase for a foster kid April 13-27

Poulsbo Lions are helping Miss Evergreen Outstanding Teen with a luggage drive for foster kids. Ideally, the luggage is new or like new, kid-sized with no broken zippers or handles. Typically, foster kids' belongings get tossed into a garbage bag and that's what they take from place to place.

Please help if you can!

Rummage sale to raise funds for Loads of Change

Coming soon - a sale to benefit Loads of Change, our laundromat service for unhoused and low-income individuals. Stay tuned!
