The Cause: Helping Feed Lakeville Kids
The Lakeville Lions are proud to partner with Every Meal to help ensure Lakeville elementary students have access to nutritious food when they’re not at school.
Through the , bags of nutritious, delicious, and relevant food is discreetly placed in students’ backpacks to help fill the food gap many children face over the weekend. The goal is simple: help kids return to school on Monday ready to learn, grow and thrive.
Today, the Lakeville Lions help bring the Every Meal program to 6 of Lakeville’s 9 elementary schools. Our goal is to make the program available in all 9 Lakeville elementary schools by the start of the 2027 school year—and the support of our community can help us get there.
When you support Lakeville Lions Oktoberfest, you’re helping us continue to grow programs like Every Meal and meet basic needs for children right here in our community.
