The Alexandria Lions Club recently donated two van loads of toys, books and jackets, along with a $1,000 contribution, to Fostering Community to support individuals in foster care throughout Central Louisiana.

The donated items were collected through the club’s Wrapped in Warmth & Wonder drive, organized in partnership with its Cub Club.

Emily Paul and Erica Coco of Fostering Community joined the Alexandria Lions Club for the presentation of the donations.

The $1,000 contribution will help Fostering Community continue providing services to individuals in foster care across Central Louisiana.
