HUNGER

We serve to improve human flourishing. We see how the global hunger and nutrition crisis bears upon our local communities, and believe true community improvement depends on the thriving of its members.

Lions Club of Coventry Godiva provide ongoing support for regular homeless feeds in Coventry and the surrounding areas, providing warm meals and essential supplies to those in need. This initiative not only helps to alleviate hunger but also offers a sense of community and support for the individuals affected by homelessness. In addition to their efforts, Godiva Lions actively support the charity Langar Aid, which works towards eradicating hunger and poverty. Together, they strive to make a positive impact on the lives of the less fortunate by providing them with both immediate assistance and long-term support.
