Monetary gifts of $100 were recently presented to Forgotten Children, Loving Shepherd Ministries, and to the Wells County Food Bank. Certificates of appreciation along with Pizza Hut discount cards were presented to the Bluffton Police Department, Wells County Emergency Management, Wells County Sheriff’s Office, Bluffton Fire Department, and Wells County EMS.

Another one of the Bluffton Lions Club’s annual projects includes the Wells County Public Library’s summer reading program. And with parental approval, Bluffton Lions assist with eye screening at loyal daycares and preschools, and also assist with eye screenings at the Bluffton-Harrison Elementary School. 

The Bluffton Lions Club also donated money to help the tornado victims in Mayfield, Ky. District 25B Governor Jerry Zeigler of Bluffton was one of the Indiana Lions who traveled to Kentucky to help unload these items. 

Zeigler also helped unload two semi trucks of more supplies, clothes, and even generators that had arrived from Pennsylvania.
