The Sedalia State Fair Lions Club focuses on aiding the blind and visually impaired while making a strong commitment to community service and strengthening local communities through hands on service and humanitarian projects in the community.
The Sedalia Pettis County United Way (SPCUW) and Pettis County Community Partnership (PCCP) presented information on the SPCUW service outreach program title “Cram the Closet” to the Sedalia State Fair Lions Club. The focus effort for Cram the Closet it to keep unmet needs stocked in the Community Closet which is a derivative of Homeless Connect and created by the Putting Roofs Over People Coalition and managed by the PCCP. Unmet needs in our community consist of diapers, wipes, hygiene and household cleaning products. The focus of these efforts is to remove stumbling blocks to allow folks to become employed and/or go to school to provide financial sustainability for their family. There are qualifying guidelines and one must be referred by a service provider, school, health department, Katy Trail, etc. to access the Community Closet. Keeping with our purpose and wanting to assist the United Way reach it’s goal to increase the household medium income in Pettis County, the Sedalia State Fair Lions Club has made a significant donation to the Sedalia-Pettis County United Way.
