By Bill Moss, Published: April 2, 2014

The Hendersonville Lions Club is inviting members of the community to join the club on Friday, April 4, for the Lions World Lunch Relay, which brings families and friends of Lions together with families and friends of Lions around the world to share a meal and celebrate the value of service.

At noon Hendersonville Lions Club members will march from the Chariot on Church Street in Hendersonville to the Storehouse Food & Hygiene Pantry on Historic Seventh Avenue to deliver food and donations the Lions have collected from the community. The march will continue to King Memorial Park on Seventh Avenue East for the Lions World Lunch Relay picnic. Families, children and anyone interested in learning more about the Lions are welcome to participate.
"We want to share the great things we're doing in the community, and let others know how they can help," Club President Mike Covell said.
Donations of canned and dry food as well as tax deductible cash donations will be accepted before and during the march.
