Candy Days

In October of each year the club joins with the Lions of Illinois Foundation and all other clubs across the state for "Lions Candy Days." This event is the major fund raising effort for the foundation to support its many programs and activities. The money raised through Candy Days in Macomb helps local children and adults with low vision aids, eyeglasses, hearing aids, and other assistance. Also, Candy Days proceeds help children attend Camp Lions, low vision clinics, along with many other opportunities. We thank all the local businesses who help in the underwriting and all the members who devote their hard work and time.

Diabetes Day

Macomb Lions 
Appreciation Day

Lions Appreciation Day began in September 2010, as a new fundraiser to encourage individuals in the community to show appreciation to someone special by buying and giving roses. Since it was so well received, this has become an annual event. 

Heritage Days Stand

Each year Macomb has a Heritage Days Celebration during the last week in June.  Beginning with the 2013 event, the Macomb Lions Club had a food stand, selling fried Oreos and donuts.
