Feeling Covid Fatigued? Do you need some help? During the past year, we’ve all reached the point where money is tight or our mental reserves are exhausted. Or both. COVID-19 has been a never-ending test, and we all need to help each other. The Nanton Lion Club applied for and have received government grant funding to help their community.... And, with the help of this fantastic service club and local businesses, they are introducing the Nanton Lions Club COVID-19 Social Support Program! Do you know of someone who needs help to buy groceries? Or do you? They can help. Do you need help picking up items from the pharmacy or something else in town? They can help. Or do you just need some help in getting a mental health break? If they can find a way to help you, they will. Just call Dana at (403)-336-9999 or email [email protected] Phase One is currently being rolled out! For more details on this and the next phase- go to http://bit.ly/LionsCOVID
