Spirit of giving

Lions team up with Stop and Shop to help Wood River Health Services

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, the Chariho Centennial Lions Club recently donated Stop & Shop gift cards to Wood River Health Services to be distributed to families and individuals in need during the holiday season.

The club donation was matched by Richmond Stop & Shop.

Michael Lichtenstein Pres. & CEO and Director of Quality Improvement Lynda Green (r) received the c-cards from Lions members Teresa Ellis and Doreen Chin Pratt.
