The Good Hope Lions participated in the Ohio Lions “peanut butter” collection to provide peanut butter for food insecure college students in central Ohio.
The project was recommended by Ohio Lions International Director Ron Keller, of the Millersport Lions Club, after he and his wife, Lion Kitty, were guests of the Wisconsin Lions and observed their peanut butter collection.
ID Ron challenged Ohio Lions to contribute 2,000 pounds of peanut butter to surpass what the Wisconsin Lions had accumulated.
Ohio Lions were asked to bring their jars of peanut butter to the Ohio Lions State Convention in Worthington, Ohio on May 18.
