About Columbus Phone Book Delivery

Volunteers will gather at 7:00 am at the Farmer's Market, which is at the corner of 2nd Street and 2nd Avenue North, Columbus MS 39701.

Lions Club secures volunteers to deliver phone books for a local publisher, and the delivery fee is then given to Lions Club, rather than hiring individuals to deliver. This is a fundraising project that will help Lions Club to provide sight and hearing assistance to the indigent persons in Lowndes County, including eye examinations, glasses, and major eye surgeries at no cost to those that qualify.

This project will be for ONE Day for 6-8 hours. Volunteers will drive their personal vehicles and carry 3 additional volunteers to distribute phone books to residents in Columbus. Book delivery is currently scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 27th, but if publishing is delayed or bad weather occurs there will be an alternate deliver date.

Lions Club will contact you if the 27th is cancelled for an alternate delivery date, but the volunteer is not obligated to the alternate date if unavailable.

Maps of the city will be distributed to drivers with your assigned area to deliver phone books. Once your route is complete return back to the Farmer’s Market to return all undelivered books.

All volunteers are asked to attend a 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb 16, 2016 at United Way (corner of Main and 22nd St No) for more details.
