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

Candy sales will continue through this Saturday, or until the candy sells out. The Lion’s bright yellow candy trailer is located in the northwest corner of Sherm’s Thunderbird parking lot off of Northwest Stewart Parkway in Roseburg. Hours of operation are daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Purchases will make a difference. One hundred 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 Umpqua Lions Club has donated money to help with local sight and hearing recipients, various youth organizations, community projects, cancer research and assistance, Umpqua Community College scholarships, and Flags for First Graders.

The public is also welcome to bring their used eyeglasses to the candy trailer. Donated used eyeglasses are used to help bring the gift of sight to many who are less fortunate.
