The Lions Clubs of Thrissur Corporation took the initiative to organize the Meals on Wheels program, demonstrating their commitment to humanitarian service. This initiative, conducted under the Lions Club International Hunger Project, aimed to provide nutritious meals to those in need, ensuring that hunger does not hinder anyone’s well-being. The presence and leadership of Lion District Governor James Valappila played a significant role in the success of this event.

Volunteers and members of the Lions Club actively participated in distributing meals, reaching out to individuals in different parts of the community. Their efforts ensured that food reached underprivileged families, elderly individuals, and others who required assistance. The initiative highlighted the club’s dedication to social responsibility and compassion.

The Meals on Wheels program also served as an opportunity for the club members to engage directly with the community. Through meaningful conversations and interactions, they gained insights into the challenges faced by the people they were serving. This personal connection reinforced the importance of service and strengthened the club’s commitment to future initiatives.
In addition to addressing immediate hunger relief, the project also emphasized awareness regarding the importance of nutrition. Volunteers shared information on healthy eating habits and ways to maximize the nutritional value of food. The goal was not only to provide meals but also to educate people on sustaining long-term well-being.


While the Meals on Wheels program was making a significant impact, another important event was organized by the Lions Club Valapad Excel. The club conducted the Lions Orientation Seminar as part of the Lions Club International Service Project, a key initiative aimed at strengthening leadership within the organization.
This seminar provided a platform for Lions Club members to gain a deeper understanding of the organization’s vision, mission, and service activities. Led by Lion District Governor James Valappila, PMJF, the seminar encouraged active participation and discussions on the importance of community service.

Attendees had the opportunity to learn about the various service projects carried out by Lions Club International. Through interactive sessions and presentations, members gained valuable insights into how they could contribute more effectively to social welfare initiatives.
The orientation seminar also focused on leadership development. Members were guided on ways to enhance their leadership skills, improve teamwork, and foster a strong sense of unity within the club. The event aimed to inspire members to take on more responsibilities and play an active role in the club’s mission.

One of the key highlights of the seminar was the emphasis on collaboration. Members were encouraged to work together, share ideas, and support each other in planning and executing future service projects. This spirit of cooperation was seen as essential in maximizing the impact of their efforts.
The Lions Club Valapad Excel’s dedication to community service was evident through the seminar. By educating and empowering its members, the club ensured that its service projects would continue to make a difference in the lives of many.

Both the Meals on Wheels program and the Lions Orientation Seminar exemplified the core values of Lions Club International. These initiatives reflected the unwavering commitment of club members to humanitarian service and their desire to create a positive impact.
With the leadership of Lion District Governor James Valappila, PMJF, and the dedication of passionate members, the Lions Club continues to set an example of service and compassion. Their ongoing efforts reinforce the belief that small acts of kindness can bring about significant change in society.
