Hundreds of low-income families in Denver do not own a thermometer, but they will be asked to take their children’s temperature before they send them to school each day beginning in August. Denver Lions have the opportunity to help provide at least 160 thermometers through our Social Services Committee, and training will be provided to families on how to use these essential instruments most of us take for granted.
We can buy thermometers for about $10 each. If 40 Lions and friends will each donate for the purchase of 2 thermometers, and we match that donation from the Social Services budget, we can provide thermometers to 160 families.
