In the Community
Our club meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month to
discuss and brainstorm over ways we can help those in need. For
example, when we discovered that some Leonia school children were
unable to afford proper eye-care, we teamed up with the schools and
a local eye-doctor to help those children get eye-exams and glasses.
The Lions also reach out to organizations such as , the Ambulance
Corps, Fire Dept., the Boy Scouts and other Youth Groups.

Donate Your used Eyeglasses: Simply drop your old eyeglasses into our yellow
mailbox located outside of PNC Bank on Broad Avenue, or in our drop box inside the
Leonia post office. We pickup the eyeglasses on a regular basis and send them on to
be redistributed. Donated eyeglasses are used by children and adults around the
world. There's a good chance that your old unused glasses will give someone the joy
of experiencing corrected vision for the first time in their life. Millions in undeveloped
countries lack access to basic eye care services. Please make the effort to donate the
glasses rather than discarding them or leaving them unused.
