The Stanwood Lions have been Chartered since 1941. Members consist of persons dedicated to helping their neighboring community as well as the world community. The Stanwood Lions are a non-profit 501c Foundation. Members and volunteers fundraise and support projects and activities that help others in need. Some of the fundraising opportunities have been Bingo at the Stanwood/Camano Fair and The Flag Program, administering over 200 U S Flags to bussinesses in the area. These funds are then donated to the following: The Safe Harbor Clinic, the Stanwood Foodbank, the Stanwood/Camano Resource Center, the Stanwood Senior Center, College and Vocational Training Schollarships, the Lions Leader Dogs Organization, and many more organizations that are needed in the community. They also have been a popular presence in the community by decorating a 150 foot retired smokestack with holiday decorations that are seen for miles. The Lions also make available to the public eyeglasses and hearing aids and exams to those individuals that can not afford them. We are in need of members and volunteers to help with our projects and fundraisers. Please feel free to contact us for furture information and come to meetings as our guest. You will be amazed at what can be accomplished as a group. If you have ever questioned yourself on whether you are doing enough to help others, one answer would be to become a Lion. WE SERVE
