Part 2: Close Up Radio Spotlights Robert Freidel of The Lions Club International

Medford Lakes, NJ - Robert Freidel is a respected member of The Lions Club International in New Jersey. He seeks to get the word out about The Lions Club and its benefits communities worldwide.

If you’re looking for a charity that passes on 100% of your donations to others in need, look no further than the Lions Club International (LCIF). When you click the Donate button on their website, you are given the opportunity to choose between their Disaster Relief Fund and the Empowering Service Fund. During the COVID pandemic in 2021, LCIF donated over $5.3M which was used to protect front line medical workers, provide food for people who lost their jobs, increase hand washing opportunities, and connect patients in isolation with loved ones. According to Robert Freidel, LCIF member of 33 years and former District Governor (District16L) and Council Chair (Multiple District 16), “Although we accept donations, we don’t solicit them like the larger charity organizations do. The majority of our giving is funded by members.”

“We not only raise a lot of money and support individuals and communities, we become great friends. I’m about to move from New Jersey to Florida for retirement, and I’m leaving behind my best friends who I’ll always be in touch with while looking forward to making new friends in Florida… I’ve already signed up one new member for my new chapter in Clearwater.”

With chapters in 144 countries, the LCIF is a great opportunity to help out internationally.
