Our Causes
Every journey begins with a single step.
One act of service, one encouraging word, one gift of generosity is often all it takes to bring hope where it’s needed most.
Local Causes
We are proud to support local causes that are very important to our community.
Eyeglass Recycling Program
Lions are known throughout the world for their work to improve the lives of the visually impaired and prevent avoidable blindness.
We are proud to be part of the official Lions Clubs International Eyeglass Recycling Centre which provides recycled eyewear free of charge to people in developing countries.
