On June 23, Fairfax Lions delivered children’s books to Main Street Child Development Center. This annual service was led once again by Lion Anh-Thu Phan. Our Club supports the mission of Fairfax’s Main Street Child Development Center, which is to provide quality early-childhood education, and support, to empower children and families, regardless of financial circumstances. Every child deserves a chance to build a strong foundation for success! https://www.mainstreetcdc.org

Donuts and coffee were served first, then at 8:30am – one of the hottest days in May – Lions picked up litter and trash along Pickett Road. Lions always have fun serving the community!
