Leavenworth Lions Club pancake breakfast returns with eco-friendly practices

The Leavenworth Lions Club will implement eco-friendly practices during its pancake breakfasts, starting May 11. The club will use compostable plates, cups, and utensils to reduce waste, building on its previous recycling efforts. Collaboration with local environmental nonprofits, such as Waste Loop and Winton Manufacturing (MFG) Compost Works, informed this shift. The breakfasts, held bi-monthly from May to September, will benefit various community projects including food banks and scholarships. The club highlights its dedication to environmental care, echoing Lions Club International's mission that “the environment is our home.

” This initiative not only addresses sustainability but also enhances community engagement. Last year, the club raised significant funds to support local needs, demonstrating the potential impact of their environmentally-conscious approach. As communities increasingly prioritize sustainability, the Lions Club sets an example for local organizations.
