Avalon Lions Charity Foundation Donates $6,000 to Cape Assist
Gift is especially helpful as overall donations to nonprofits have declined due to the pandemic.
The Avalon Lions Charity Foundation recently donated $6,000 to Cape Assist, a substance-abuse prevention and treatment agency located in Wildwood. The generous gift is especially helpful currently, as donations to nonprofits have declined amid hardships due to the pandemic.
This money will be used to fund the vital community programs and services Cape Assists provides to those battling substance abuse, and will support the nonprofit’s ongoing efforts to build healthy communities throughout Cape May County.
“We cannot thank the Avalon Lions Charity Foundation enough,” said Executive Director Katie Faldetta. “The organization has been a consistent supporter of Cape Assist over the years, and their donations allow us to continue our work to help a population that’s extremely vulnerable.”

Addiction remains a great danger to people. Stress, uncertainty, depression, and anxiety can trigger many who are in recovery to use again as a coping mechanism. Cape Assist’s work is needed now more than ever, and their counselors are offering clients continued contact and support without office visits.
