Coats for Kids and Families

Ashland Lions Club partnered with Anton’s Cleaners for the Coats for Kids and Families Drive to collect warm winter coats for adults and children. Due to your generous donations, we were able to collect over 600 coats for people in need this season! Thanks to Focus on Fitness, Cleaner’s Choice, Ashland Police and Fire departments, and the AHS Leos Club for setting up collection stations and supporting our coat drive!

Ashland Lions Meat Raffles

Ashland Lions is in full swing with another great year of meat raffles! Our next event will be held on Saturday, Feb. 7. Raffles are normally on the first Saturday of each month at 12 p.m. at TJ’s Food and Spirits in Ashland and run throughout the winter.

There will be great food, friendly people, and plenty of meat to choose from. See you there!

Senior Breakfasts 

Seniors are invited to join us and community members for a monthly breakfast on the first Thursday of each month (weather permitting) at the Ashland Senior Center, 162 West Union Street.

This event runs through May. Please contact the Senior Center to sign up no later than the Monday before each event.
