Eye Glass Recycling
Our club collects used, unwanted eyeglasses through multiple drop off boxes located throughout the HRM. If you have any old pairs or eyeglasses lying around your home, please take them to one of our collection boxes and we will recycle them and get them to a person in need.

Great time in the parade and later serving hot dogs to participants and attendees
Lion Mints
For more than 20 years, Lion clubs a have depended on the profits generated by the sale of Lion Mints to purchase eyeglasses and hearing aids for the needy; send kids to camp; assist the disabled; help school programs and provide support to the community.
We are looking for more locations to have our mints!
Please contact the club number if you want to host one of our displays.
