2024 Ham and Eggs Breakfast Fundraiser

Thank you to all our volunteers, other Lions (including Governor Brenda), and the general public who came out for our Ham & Eggs Breakfast fundraising event. You all helped make it a big success. 🦁

Also, thank you to the volunteers from the Chicago Healthcare Alliance Lions Club who came to the event to do free blood glucose testing to check for possible diabetes as part of Diabetes Awareness Month.

Stickney-Forest View Lions Food Pantry

If anyone has been looking for our Stickney-Forest View Lions Club Food Pantry, it is still located at the Forest View Village Hall. It has just been moved to the north end of the second floor. We invite the community to help keep this much needed resource stocked with non-perishable food items and hygiene products. If you should notice the pantry needs restocking, please email us at sfvlions@gmail.com. Thank you again to the Village of Forest View for hosting our pantry.

Our first Queen of Hearts drawing was on February 2, 2021. In all the drawings since then, we have only been playing at the Stage 1 prize level of our Queen of Hearts Raffle. Our pot has crossed $30,000, which kicks us up into the Stage 2 prize level. General ticket winners go from $50 to $100. Aces go from $100 to $250. Jokers go from $500 to $1,500 (and we start a new board). And the Queen of Hearts stays at half the pot. Our weekly drawing is held at 7:30p every Tuesday, at Lynn Catherine’s located at 6525 W. Pershing Rd., Stickney, IL. For detailed rules click here. You can purchase tickets at Lynn Catherine's, at one of these other locations, or at our online store.

At our December 17th drawing the winning ticket belonged to B&G, who selected card #12 on the board, which was revealed to be the Two of Diamonds.
The pot rolls over and will start at $90,400.
Due to the holidays, our next drawing will be Tuesday, January 7th, 2025.

If you are unable to take part in any of our current fundraising events, you are still able to make general donations through our Square store to support our causes. Programs like Camp Lions, Low Vision Clinics and Screenings, Chicago Lighthouse, Diabetes Awareness, and others are still in need of our support through donations. Locally, requests are coming in from local food pantries, assistance for eye testing, hearing testing, and other needs for our community residents. Please consider making an online donation using the link below. Thank you for your generosity.
