Our next laundry day for North Kitsap's unhoused and needy is Weds., July 17, from 2-6 p.m. The final load needs to be in the washer by 5:30 so there's time to pay for drying it before we leave.

Find out more about Lions and what we do
Lions are creating a world with promise: improving health and well-being, strengthening communities and supporting those in need.
Poulsbo Lions pick up litter, help the unhoused and needy with laundry, grow veggies for food banks, screen the vision of little kids, provide free eye exams and eyeglasses for the unhoused/needy, and so much more! When we have a fundraiser, 100 percent of the proceeds go right back into our community.
If you'd like to find out more about Poulsbo Lions, you're welcome to attend a lunch meeting - they're every Thursday (except holidays) from 12-1:15 pm. We offer free coffee and water. It's bring your own lunch. We typically have a fabulous program each week too!
Any questions, please contact poulsbolions@gmail.com. Thanks!
Two devoted Lions honored
Can you feel the love? Dennis Tesch (left), Past President Larry Linn, and John Macdonald came together at today's meeting so Larry could award both with the Devoted Service Award for their many (many!) years of service running the Poulsbo Lions Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund.
