The Epsom-Chichester Lions Club was founded in 1989 to serve the communities of Epsom and Chichester. A group of like-minded citizens organized under Lions Clubs International with intension of providing various services to the area that were not being fulfilled at that time. Various fund-raisers were held and a treasury fund was gradually built with the help of the local citizens. The club began fulfilling its’ mission to assist sight and hearing impaired individuals and youth programs. The club continues with its’ original mission and has added other community programs when the need arises.

Eyeglassees and Hearing Aids for those individuals who are truly unable to afford them are provided by the Epsom-Chichester Lions Club.  Lions Multiple District 44 on a monthly basis in Manchester and Concord for eye examinations and a voucher is forward to Lenscrafters in Concord to purchase a pair of glasses. Hearing applications and recommendations are provided by a Audiology practice in Concord. Anyone needing either service is encouraged to contact Dick at 736-9942. As the most important mission of the Lions is to support services to the visually impaired, we support the Guide dogs of America  Program to raise funds for a Guide dog for a New Hampshire individual. We also support the New Hampshire Association for the Blind. Blind Bowlers Weekend  for the Blind are held yearly for New Hampshire citizens.
