About Our Lions Club
Plainsboro Township Lions Club in New Jersey was started in 2024.
True to the motto "We Serve", the Plainsboro Township Club Lions are striving to serve the local and neighboring communities, and collaborate with other voluntary organizations through a variety of activities.
Through a variety of fundraising activities and the resources of the Lions, the club undertakes projects in the following areas:
- free eye exam screenings
- collection of used eye glasses for recycling
- organize guest lectures to raise awareness on eye and general health
- organize workshops on environment
- collaborate with other organizations in programs involving environment
- participate in community cleanup campaigns
- participation in community festivals, events, field trips, and holiday parades
The club raises funds to support some of the above programs. One hundred percent of the funds raised by the club as bound by the mandate of the Lions International are used to support the charitable purposes/projects. All club administrative expenses are covered by the membership dues.
More About Lions:
Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world every day because they share a core belief - to serve their community.
Lions have a dynamic history. Founded in 1917, we are best known for fighting blindness, but we also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects - including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled.
Lions give sight. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. We have extended our commitment to sight conservation through countless local efforts and through our international SightFirst Program, which works to eradicate blindness.
Lions serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. Internationally, we offer many programs, including the Peace Poster Contest, Youth Camps and Exchange and Lions Quest.
Our Leo Program provides the youth of the world with an opportunity for personal development through volunteering. There are approximately 144,000 Leos and 5,700 Leo clubs in more than 140 countries worldwide.
Lions award grants. Since 1968, the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded more than US$700 million in grants to support Lions humanitarian projects around the world. LCIF was also ranked the number one nongovernmental organization in a 2007 study by The Financial Times.
Lions help during disasters. Together, our Foundation and Lions are helping communities following natural disasters by providing for immediate needs such as food, water, clothing and medical supplies – and aiding in long-term reconstruction.
Lions are active. Our motto is "We Serve." Lions are part of a global service network, doing whatever is necessary to help our local communities.
Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization with more than 1.4 million members in approximately 46,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.
