• Congratulations to Lion Rosella and her team for being at the Shelburne Farmers Market this summer.  By combining the event with a service activity and spreading the word through advance publicity—including shared social media posts—and setting up an inviting tent, we saw great results. Our club made a meaningful impact in supporting local homeless shelters. Rosella reports that we received $100.25, along with many boxes and bags of toiletries, diapers, towels, washcloths, plus several pairs of glasses to upcycle,

Champlain Valley Lions - Continuing Projects

Help the Environment – Little things add up, and Lions lead in many ways - from planting trees to turning old plastic bags into beautiful park benches.

Diabetes Awareness – We promote health and awareness, help educate, and screen for diabetes – before complications afflict our neighbors.

Pediatric Cancer – Lions are there – in many ways – for our youth.  And we help our elders, too.  Lions assist the most vulnerable.  

Vision – Since the days of Helen Keller, Lions are known for vision and hearing assistance.  From river blindness to vision screenings of Vermont school children, Lions lead the way in changing lives for the better.
