Needy Children's Christmas Project
This is one of our largest projects and many of our fundraisers provide funds to help children at need at Christmas time. Members of our club adopt a family and buy Christmas presents and clothing for them. We have a special meeting to pass out food gift certificates, books, and other supplies for our needy families. Members deliver the food baskets and gifts to the family they adopted. This is a favorite project of many of our members.
Eye Glasses/Vision Screening
We hold free vision screenings for children in preschool at our local community preschools. The families give permission and then children are screened. Families are informed if their child needs further assistance with their vision. We also help families who can not afford to pay for glasses or eye doctor appointments. Lions collect used eye glasses and go on missions to Mexico to provide glasses to people who cannot afford them. Eye glass collection boxes are at several locations. Please help us by donating your used eye glasses.
Hospital Equipment
We have a garage full of hospital equipment that people in need can borrow. We have hospital beds, crutches, wheel chairs, potty chairs, ect. Contact our club if you are in need of hospital equipment.
Community Fundraisers
We have different dinners through out the year that go towards community organizations such as: Gabriels Horn, South Haven Boys and Girls Club, South Haven Little League, and South Haven Boys and Girls club. One to a South Haven resident and the other to a JROTC memeber because they help us with many projects during the year. We also help out at the annual South Haven Halloween event and Christmas event! Where there is a need there is a Lion!
