HURLEYVILLE, NY (March 24, 2013) – At the Town of Fallsburg Lions Club weekly dinner meeting on March 21, District 20-0 Alert Chair Al Frangipane presented three $500 checks to the following local food banks: Town of Thompson’s Federation for the Homeless, South Fallsburg’s St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church Food Pantry, and Hurleyville’s Bread of Life Food Bank.

Earlier this month Frangipane had presented checks to Shepherd’s Pantry in White Lake and St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Middletown.

Lion’s District 20-0 Governor Joyce Maier had made an application to the New York State and Bermuda Lions Foundation for the monetary awards to acknowledge the great team effort of local Lions Clubs to honor their neighborhood food relief agencies for stepping up during Storm Sandy this winter.

At the Fallsburg meeting, Frangipane thanked Kathy Kreiter, Cynthia Johnston and Louise Domingo, who are responsible for maintaining the Federation, St. Andrew’s and Bread of Life and keeping their doors open and serving the needs of the people during the long power outages and impact of frigid weather.

Over 30 Fallsburg Lion’s Club members were on hand at the dinner.
