Hello again. Thought an update was necessary so that everyone knew where to get the Thanksgiving basket applications and other important information. Applications this year will be at First National Bank and will be available on Oct. 29. They also will be available at the Homer Community Food Pantry that day. We are still appealing for donations of any kind — including money, time, turkeys, canned goods etc.  If you call, please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Distribution will be on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, Nov. 17, in the basement of the Homer United Methodist Church. Please call 235-8761 if you have any questions.  Donations may be mailed to Kachemak Bay Lions at P.O. Box 1824 Homer, AK 99603. Thank you for all you do.
