Inver Grove Heights: Lions Clubs plan Community Day of Service
Volunteers will have a chance to assemble snack packs for children, send greeting cards to senior citizens and make hypoglycemia kits for people who have diabetes during next month's Community Day of Service in Inver Grove Heights. The free event, which will be held from 10 a.m. to noon April 5 at the Inver Grove Heights Community Center, features a variety of hands-on service projects 'that will make a meaningful impact on the community,' organizers say. Community Day of Service is hosted by the Lions Clubs of Cottage Grove, Hastings Rivertown, South St. Paul, St. Paul Park, Newport and Woodbury along with the South St. Paul Southwest Lioness Lions Club. Other activities include making fleece blankets for Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a local nonprofit organization that builds and delivers beds to kids who don't have a bed of their own, and and creating eco-friendly seed pots. In addition, children can receive free vision screenings during the event, organizers say.
