World Water Day is an international United Nations holiday (and a Lions Focus Area), observed every year on March 22nd. Clean and safe water is something that is still not accessible to many people around the globe, and even in some parts of the United States! World Water Day brings awareness to this issue and how important it is to make freshwater accessible to everyone, for drinking and sanitation purposes. There are currently 2.2 billion people living with no access to clean and safe water, which means this is a global water crisis that we need to take action against.

Do you have any used eyeglasses hanging around? We'll take them! Please bring them to the Police Station (located in the Public Safety Building at 12 Union St), Market Basket (Pond Street / Rte.126), the VFW (at 311 Pleasant Street), or the Town Hall (Main Street).
