The Club was awarded a banner for being the Club that donated the most to the Lions International Charity Foundation for the Valencian flood victims.
Though we donate the majority of our funds to local causes, recently we donated 500€ to buy goods to be sent to Venezuela earthquake victims. The Benidorm Lions Club, paid for a container that they filled with urgently needed goods for Venezuela. Our Club sent them 500€ to buy what was needed the most, and the container went by sea to Venezuela. The Lions International Charity Foundation, sent 200,000 dollars to the Lions Governor of Venezuela the week of the earthquake to buy food and water for the victims.
We make most of our funds from our wonderful charity shop, situated on Calle Pintor Sorolla, 15, Calpe. We have wonderful nearly new clothes, bric a brac, bedding, and antiques. Donations of all types gratefully accepted. The shop is open every day except Sunday, from 10am until 1pm.
We are always in need of new members with new ideas, and volunteers to help run the shop.
