The Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions joined with Mamaroneck’s Sedona Tap House Monday’s Dine Out for Charity to raise funds for the Community Resource Center’s eviction relief program.

During the current coronavirus rent moratorium, the Community Resource Center, CRC, has been working with our communities at
risk households to keep them in their homes.  They identify those in need, and through partnerships provide legal counseling, negotiations
with the landlords and funding direct negotiated payments to the landlords.

Every month on every Monday, Sedona donates $2 per steak meal to a local service group or project.  To encourage support at both lunch and dinner, they offer their $18 steak meal for only $10.  The Lions and Sedona teamed up in January to support the CRC’s eviction protection effort.  The Lions agreed to match Sedona’s donation, which was $610 (305 meals served). Individual Lions have made separate donations to increase the Lions total to $1000.  Checks totaling $1610 were presented to CRC Director Jirandy Martinez.

Mondays in February, Sedona is supporting the STEM alliance Robotics program.  In March Sedona and the Lions will again team in support of the Fuller Center, which builds and remodels homes to be owned by those in need.  They also respond to local emergencies with food, clothing and supplies appropriate to the need.

These partnerships are an extension of the Lions effort to bring our community’s service organizations and resources together to address local needs.  The Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions are part of the Lions Clubs of the Sound Shore, and Lions Clubs International, the world’s
largest service organization.
