The Dan Rowe Memorial Winter Clothing Drive

The Rumford Lions will hold a Winter Clothing Drive in honor of Dan Rowe, a former member who passed away several years ago. Dan was instrumental in forming our first winter clothing drive a few years ago.

\We are asking that Rumford and surrounding area citizens donate to this cause.

We ask that all donated items be laundered prior to bringing them to us.

The collected clothing and items will be distributed to and will benefit the less fortunate citizens of East Providence and Providence, RI. The items that will be most needed are: Winter Coats / Winter Jackets, Sweaters, Gloves and Mittens, Warm Shirts / Blouses, Warm Corduroy or Lined Pants, Warm Socks, Warm Winter Shoes / Boots, Blankets / Afghans.

A second opportunity to contribute to the Drive will take place at the Rumford Lions Annual Harvest Dinner which will be held the next day, November 1, 2026 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Santa Maria / Holy Ghost Brotherhood Hall, 846 Broadway, East Providence, RI.
