Omaha Branch Supports Lions Club's Colorado Peach Sales Fundraiser

Our Omaha location welcomed their local Lions Club again on Friday August 17th to support the outstanding fundraising efforts of the organization with the sales of Colorado peaches. The Lions Club International is the world’s largest service club organization, working hard to meet the needs of local communities all around the world every day. Founded in 1917, the Club is best known for fighting blindness but its members also volunteer for many different types of community projects including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled. Their community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. Internationally, the Club offer many programs, including youth camps and exchanges. Over the years the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded more than US$700 million in grants to support Lions humanitarian projects around the world.

Mid-States Utility Trailer Sales have worked with the Lions Club for over 10 years now. Zach Fritz, the Service Manager at our Omaha store has been the coordinator for the project for several years now. He says “We really look forward to having the Lions Club here with us every year. The club works so hard to support our local community and we are always happy to do our bit and help them. When the peaches arrive in a refrigerated trailer we move them into one of our reefers and keep them there for days until all their customers have collected their orders. We have a strong relationship with the organization and Dave Emry, their project coordinator, and will continue providing support for as long as it is needed.”
