Hope In Action Lions Fish Fry

The annual Lions Fish Fry for Hope In Action was held Thursday (3-28) at the Fair Park Coliseum.  Several hundred folks turned out to enjoy fish and chicken with the fixins’ prepared by the Hope Lions.  Later, there was a dessert auction with pies and cakes prepared or provided by Unity Baptist, the Hope church of Christ, Southside Baptist, Hope Methodist, Rising Star Baptist, UAHT, and others.  Many citizens bid very generously on the desserts.  It was a great community effort and is much appreciated by Hope In Action.

The Lions Club reported there were 510 “to-go” orders and 171 served at the event.  The event grossed $9,729 and netted over $6,700 for Hope in Action.

Hope in Action has a food pantry and two facilities offering emergency shelter for those in need.
