LADY LAKE, FL (352today.com) – Orange Blossom Gardens Lions Club (OBG Lions) has provided a $6,000 charitable donation to LovExtension, Inc., a Lake County–based nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of elderly and disabled individuals through direct assistance, personal outreach, and community-based support programs.
LovExtension’s mission centers on reducing isolation and hardship among vulnerable residents by providing food deliveries, personal visits, essential household and medical supplies, holiday assistance, and compassionate support to individuals who may otherwise lack consistent help or connection. Their volunteers work year-round to ensure seniors and people with disabilities are not forgotten, particularly those living alone or facing financial or physical limitations.
“This donation is not just a monetary one,” said Barbara Crewell, President of the Orange Blossom Gardens Lions Club. “LovExtension brings dignity, warmth, and genuine connection to people who often feel invisible. Their volunteers show up when it matters most, and we are honored to support an organization whose values so closely align with our own commitment to service.”
The donation will help expand LovExtension’s programming and strengthen its outreach initiatives, allowing the organization to reach more individuals in need and respond to growing demand for assistance and companionship services throughout the region.
For the Orange Blossom Gardens Lions Club, community partnerships such as this one are a cornerstone of its mission. As part of Lions Clubs International, one of the world’s largest humanitarian service organizations, the OBG Lions regularly support a wide range of local causes, including hunger relief, vision care, health initiatives, youth programs, disaster response, and assistance for families and seniors facing hardship. Through fundraising events, volunteer service projects, and charitable contributions, the club works year-round to address pressing needs in Lady Lake, The Villages, and surrounding communities.
“Our members believe service is strongest when it is personal and local,” Crewell added. “Whether we are supporting food pantries, vision programs, or organizations like LovExtension, our goal is always the same: to make our community healthier, stronger, and more compassionate.”
LovExtension leaders expressed gratitude for the support, noting that community partnerships are vital to sustaining and growing their mission. The organization relies heavily on donations and volunteers to continue delivering services to the elderly, disabled, homebound, and other underserved individuals.
The Orange Blossom Gardens Lions Club has a long history of reinvesting proceeds from its fundraising efforts directly back into the community, supporting nonprofits, schools, families, and service organizations that demonstrate a measurable impact and a long-term commitment to improving the quality of life for local residents.
