Westborough Lions Club Donates PPE to Fire Department
$10,000 Lions Clubs International Grant Supports COVID-19 Relief Efforts
On October 13th, the Westborough Fire Department was the recipient of thirty Face Shields and twenty-five visors through the collaborative efforts of the Harvard, MA and Westborough Lions Clubs. This donation was made possible by a generous $10,000 COVID-19 grant from the Lions Clubs International Foundation. The goal of the partnership was to provide much needed NIH-approved PPE for local first repsoners in towns like Harvard and Westborough, served via the forty-seven local Lions chapters within Massachusetts District 33A.
