Members of the Bluffton University Social Work Club will take part in a Trick or Can activity on October 31, the same night that Bluffton holds trick or treating. Donations will be delivered to the Bluffton Community Assistance Corporation food pantry.
Students in costume will go door to door asking for donations of shelf-stable and nonperishable food items (no glass). Donations may also be left on doorsteps and porches to be collected.
The Bluffton Lions Club newsletter provides a month-to-month look at the who, what, when and where of this local service club.
On September 28, Bluffton Lions helping with roadside clean-up were president Jackie Bourassa, Mark Bourassa, Cindy Lee, Dwain Hall, Mark Minnig, Clair Winebar and committee chair Andrew Rager. ▶︎
