The Lancaster Tarhe Lions are proud to support these great projects with our time, talents and donations!
Adopt A Family - Each year at Christmas, the members of our club "adopt" a needy family in order to give them a happier holiday. We also spend many hours helping the Salvation Army ring the bells at Christmas.
Eye Exams & Glasses - We purchase numerous eye exams and eyeglasses each year for members of the community who cannot afford to do it themselves.
Eyeglass Collection - The Lancaster Tarhe Lions Club collects used eyeglasses in order to recycle them for use in developing countries where eyecare and access to glasses is extremely limited. We have collection boxes in at least 21 locations around town.
Helping our Youth - We proudly sponsor a Little League Baseball Team each year as well as a Soap Box Derby Car. We also give annual scholarships to deserving students like a scholarship awarded to Racheal Rine, who is a 3rd year student in The Mount Carmel College of Nursing (pictured from left are Lion Bob Cunningham, Racheal Rine and Tarhe President George Barnes).
Other Activities - The members of our club believe in supporting the good work of others in the community. Each year, we park cars and donate money to help the annual M.S. Walk be a success. We also believe in recognizing individuals in our community who have done great things for Lancaster or our citizens. That's why we hold an annual Citizen of the Year banquet -- to ensure that the good work individuals is highlighted and celebrated.
