After a cyclone hit Romania, over 15,000 people were left without homes. Utilizing a US$15,000 LCIF Emergency Grant, Lions of District 214 in Romania provided supplies such as tracksuits, winter coats, boots and other warm clothing for over 200 people. This small gesture made a huge difference for a community that had lost essential belongings during the cold season. To learn more about LCIF grants, visit: https://bit.ly/4qHvtHe
