Crocheted Blankets for Lions Need For Feed.

Pauline the wife of Lion Garry Lymbery from Gungahlin Lions Club has been crocheting rugs/blankets, most of which are 1 metre square, for the past 3 years. As the pile of blankets grew, she wondered what to do with them all after giving them to friends and her children’s friends when they had a baby the pile continued to grow. The total is now at 56.

At the Canberra Convention in 2021 Pauline decided to ask the team from Lions Need For Feed at their display whether they would like the blankets. They were enthusiastic about receiving them.

Little did they know how many there were (that's not cake and and booze in those boxes)...

Lions Need For Feed started as a project of the Pakenham Lions Club in 2006 and is now run by the Lions Club of Victoria Need For Feed and has been adopted as a Project of MD201 in 2021. Need For Feed sources fodder for stock, food for dogs and care packages for farmers and their families affected by disaster (fire, flood and drought) and coordinates the delivery to farmers in need. They are currently doing hay runs to northern NSW and southern Queensland to farmers affected by the recent floods.

Pauline delivered them to a Lions Need For Feed representative in Cobram on Thursday April 21 2022.

They were gratefully accepted by Linda Ryder from the Lions Club of Victoria Need For Feed.
