2024 is now in the history books.

As the holiday season ends so does the holiday fundraising efforts of the Poulsbo Lions Raab Foundation. This season over $10,000 was raised and will be distributed to Fishline, ShareNet, Coffee Oasis, American Legion Post 245 and St Vincent DePaul at St. Olaf Church.

All of these organizations provide vital assistance and outreach services to individuals and families in the North Kitsap Community. 2024 may not have been a year to celebrate by those in need but we believe these funds will help them to a brighter future. The Poulsbo Lions appreciate all members of the community who provided donations this season and to the North Kitsap Herald for their assistance.

Donations can be made to the Bellringer fund throughout the year via PayPal at Poulsbo lions@gmail.com, the internet at Poulsbolions.blogspot.com, or check mailed to P.O. Box 1244, Poulsbo, WA 98370

Donations made this past week include: John MacDonald, Jacquelyn Pavey, Steve and Karen Calhoun, Gale Gray in memory of Blanche & Talmage Gray and Kay Gray, T.W. and W.S. McClure, Patrica Bennett Forman and Edward Forman and anonymous.
