The Roseburg Lions Club is selling See’s Candy for the Christmas holidays to raise funds to benefit the club’s various community projects.

Organizer Lisa Hawley said the group has been selling See’s Candy for over 35 years.

Hawley said candy sales continue until December 24th or until the candy sells out. The Lion’s bright yellow candy trailer is in the northwest corner of the Sherm’s Thunderbird parking lot, on Northwest Stewart Parkway. Hours of operation are 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily. COVID-19 guidelines are being followed to ensure a safe but friendly candy-buying experience.

Hawley said 100 percent of the profits from candy sales are used for the club’s projects to assist people in the community. Over the years, the Roseburg Lions Club has donated or contributed money to help with local sight and hearing recipients, various youth organizations, community projects, cancer research and assistance, UCC scholarships, Flags for First Graders and more.

Hawley said the public is also welcome to bring their used eye glasses to the candy trailer. Donated used eye glasses are put to use to help bring the gift of sight to many less fortunate.
