Annually, the Union City Lions Club hosts a Crab Feed to raise funds for community projects and programs. The profits from years’ past were used to fund scholarships for youth and other youth programs such as the Girl Scouts Gold Award Projects, Boy Scout Eagle Projects and Close Up (education trip to Washington D.C.) Program.
The pandemic created challenges for this service club and others. In an effort to keep our community safe and to comply with state regulations for social gatherings, the Union City Lions Club and their sponsors have Pardoned the Crabs for 2021, and as such they will not be holding their annual event. Event sponsors are: Carol Dutra-Vernaci, EA & Taxpayers Advocate; Tri-City Voice (media sponsor); The Kwan Family.
To acknowledge this “Pardon” the Union City Lions Club, and their sponsors, are providing logo’d long and short sleeved T-shirts announcing this first-time-ever event in return for a $50 donation. The $50 donation is the traditional cost for a ticket to the event.

Kevin Finnerty, President of the Union City Lions Club, hopes the community will respond to this unique opportunity to demonstrate their support for the club and the Tri-City communities. The Crab Feed was a huge fund raiser for the club, and without it, the Lions ability to support community programs could be impacted! To sweeten the deal, any person who wears the 2021 Pardon shirt at the 2022 Union City Crab feed event, will receive 10 raffle tickets free.
The Union City Lions Club “Pardon” of the Crabs begins June 1st through June 30th. More information on the event and to order your shirt in support of the Lions Club may be found on their web page at www.uclions.com.
