Enumclaw Lions taking donations for annual fundraising effort

The Enumclaw Lions Club will be collecting donations outside the Safeway and QFC grocery stores Friday and Saturday, May 11-12.

All donations will go to the Northwest Lions Foundation.

Among the sight and hearing programs supported by the foundation is the Lions Health Screening Unit. The mobile unit last year provided free vision, hearing, glaucoma, diabetes and high blood pressure screenings for more than 29,000 individuals. Of those, 27,640 were school-age children in this area.

During the past 10 years, Plateau-area residents have donated more than $15,000 to the charitable cause.
