POULSBO — A lot of car washes are going to do a lot of good in the community.
Mike’s Car Wash in Poulsbo presented a check for $2,200 to the Poulsbo Lions Bellringer Fund on Thursday, bringing the campaign total to $32,561.
Donations surpassed last year’s campaign total of $25,590.
The check from Mike’s Car Wash reflects a portion of revenue from car washes set aside for the Poulsbo Lions Bellringer Fund since November.
Donations to the fund are used to provide food, emergency shelter and emergency financial assistance to North Kitsap residents in need.
The fund was founded in the 1940s by Frank and Mabel Raab as a vehicle for neighbors to help each other during emergencies. The Poulsbo Noon Lions Club administers the fund for the Raab Foundation.
North Kitsap Fishline and others periodically turn to the Poulsbo Lions Bellringer Fund for help providing assistance to families facing eviction, emergency assistance paying utility bills, and keeping homes supplied with heating fuel. This year, the Poulsbo Lions Bellringer Fund supplied 100 Christmas food baskets to local families.
All told, the Poulsbo Lions Bellringer Fund and its donors assisted more than 300 families in 2011.
