About Us

The Lions Club of Towanda, Illinois was chartered on March 1, 1975, with 18 members. Today, nearly 50 years later, the club has 20 members. Membership requires a small investment of time (one short meeting per month) and gives a great deal of satisfaction from helping others. Our main fundraisers are the Towanda 4th of July Snow Cone booth and an annual Ham and Bean dinner.

As a result of local support, the Towanda Lions Club participates in or funds projects such as the following:

Purchases eye exams and eyeglasses for persons in financial need
Help fund local schools, PTO, playground equipment and other needs
Sponsors highway clean-up for a 2-mile section south of Towanda
