The food pantry is in dire need of donations, so the Lions are stepping up to make it even easier to help families in need.
The Sussex and Lannon Lions Clubs are joining forces with Sussex-Area Outreach Services to remind people that Lions Daze this weekend is more than just a carnival, and it’s never been easier to help out while having fun.

Food pantry and assistance center welcomes its new executive director, and she’s planning on making sure its tremendous service lives on.
It’s more than just a food pantry. Sussex-Area Outreach Services (SOS) provides clothing, toys, programs and all around assistance to anyone who needs it, and the important resource is welcoming its brand new executive director. Jennifer Waltz has been living in Sussex for four years as a social worker before taking the reigns at SOS on Oct. 17.

The outreach center serves more than 500 households in the surrounding communities, almost 400 percent more than just five years ago. Waltz still remains positive, and she’s quickly learning the how generous Sussex truly is. “It’s going really well so far,” Waltz said. “I find we have this amazing pool of volunteers …
