The Wylie Evening Lions Club (WELC) was chartered on October 2nd 2008. When it comes to meeting challenges, our response is simple: We serve. In over 200 countries, in hospitals and senior centers, in regions battered by natural disaster, in schools and eyeglass recycling centers, Lions are doing community volunteer work, helping, leading, planning and supporting. Because we're local, we can serve the unique needs of the communities we live in. And because we're global, we can address challenges that go beyond borders.
We support and participate our community services such as Wylie Christian Care Center, St. Vincent DePaul, Amazing Grace Food Pantry, Coventry Reserve, the Wylie Championship Rodeo and Boo on Ballard. WELC supports Wylie ISD students with school supplies each year and school nurses with vouchers so that children can get glasses. We also support Wylie Heat's Basketball fundraiser in the Spring. Plus much more....
We also support many Lions club charities such as:
-
Texas Lions Camp - is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing, without charge, a summer camp for physically disabled, hearing/vision impaired and diabetic children from the State of Texas regardless of race, religion or national origin.
-
Lions Sight and Tissue Foundation - provides the “Gift of Sight” for thousands of children and adults in North Texas; and promotes vision worldwide.
-
Leader Dogs For The Blind - has been providing independent travel to the blind community through the use of dog guides for over 69 years. Since founding in 1939,over 16,000 visually impaired individuals experienced increased independence through the use of Leader Dogs. All services provided are completely free of charge, and they receive NO state, federal or United Way funding.
