Portland Hollywood Lions Club Food Drive At Grocery Outlet - Saturday May 9th (Photo) - 05/04/26

PORTLAND - On Saturday, May 9th, the Hollywood Lions Club will be running their semi-annual food drive at the
Hollywood Grocery Outlet from 10am to 3pm! They will be accepting non-perishable food items for all including pet foods. All donations will benefit the Community for Positive Aging.

Please also consider bringing used eyeglasses and hearing aids for the Oregon Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation!

The high cost of food, gas, utilities, medical care and rent continue to plague people in Portland. 1 in 5 residents of Oregon suffer food insecurity. Hunger affects children and families, and especially seniors who can be more isolated than other community members. The Community for Positive Aging is a not for profit committed to enriching the lives of adults 55 and older by creating opportunities for social connection, health and wellness, independence and life-long learning. They provide services, education, information and recreation for seniors, families and caregivers in Multnomah County and particularly in their Hollywood neighborhood.

Often, seniors keep pets for emotional support and to stave off loneliness. These furry friends suffer from the same food insecurity as their senior friends, so sealed, new pet food will also be welcomed by the Hollywood Lions.

The Hollywood Lions Club, celebrating its 97th anniversary this year, is committed to service in its community and beyond, including a long relationship with the Community for Positive Aging, with Lions on the Board of Directors. The Hollywood Lions know that “where there’s a need, there’s a Lion!”
