Christmas trees at the VFW

If you haven’t bought your Christmas tree yet, come see us! The Lions Christmas Tree lot is behind the Ashland VFW at 311 Pleasant Street in Ashland. Please consider buying your fresh Christmas tree from the Ashland Lions this year and donate to a great cause. Remember, Lions give back 100% of fundraising to eye research and the local community.

Coats for Kids (and Adults!)

Ashland Lions Club is partnering again with Anton’s Cleaners for the Coats for Kids and Families Drive. We are collecting warm winter coats for adults and children.  They will be cleaned by Anton’s Cleaners and made available to local nonprofits, social service agencies and schools to ensure that the coats are given to those who really need them, free of charge.

Coats can be dropped off in Ashland at Focus on Fitness, 290 Eliot St.; Ashland Fire Station, 70 Cedar St. and Cleaner’s Choice and Tailor, 193 Main St.
