Disbursments

Each year the Richmond Lions club embarks on an number of fund raising projects - but where does the money we raise go?

The money raised by our club goes right back into the community. Every cent we raise at our events is returned to those who can use a little assistance, and unlike some organizations, this means every penny!

Here are some of our most recent recipients.

RCD

Richmond Center for Disability

The Richmond Lions club has been a long time supporter of the Richmond Center for Disability. Each year we donate money to the RCD summer camp. This year we pledged $15,000 toward the purchase of two super computers and five years of software subscriptions to packages such as the Adobe suite of productivity tools and Microsoft Office. With these computers, RCD clients will have the opportunity to train one up-to-date machines with the latest software.

Richmond Working Poor

2020 Working Poor

The city of Richmond working poor fund identifies families in the city of Richmond who could use use a little financial assistance with the Christmas season.

Once families are recognized toys and gift certificates are purchased. Typically, children receive gifts in the $50- $60 range and the parents receive a Save-On-Foods gift certificate to aid with the purchase Christmas dinner.

This year, in collaboration with the employees at Epson Canada's research center, the Richmond Lions club was able to present city Councillor McNulty with a cheque for $2200. This should help some fourteen or so families in the Richmond area have a better Christmas.
