Mission Statement
To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace, and promote international understanding through Lions Clubs.
To support families, individuals, and community organizations in the City of Scandia, City of Marine on St. Croix, and the Town of May.
How We Serve
Sight Programs
We want everyone to see a better tomorrow. That's why we support sight programs and services including vision screenings, eye banks and eyeglass recycling; provide eye care services to those at risk of losing their sight and raise donations through campaigns like SightFirst and Campaign SightFirst II.
Health Programs
We believe everyone deserves a healthy life. From providing health programs that focus on hearing loss to supporting efforts to control and prevent diabetes, Lions volunteers are working to improve the health of children and adults around the world.
Youth Volunteer Opportunities
We empower the next generation. Whether it's providing youth volunteer opportunities and leadership experiences in a Leo club or sharing a message of peace through our Peace Poster contest, our youth programs invest in the future by reaching out to young people.
Community and Environment Programs
We serve local communities - and protect the planet. From performing hands-on community work and service projects to providing emergency assistance, our community and environment programs improve our communities - and protect the environment.
Disaster Relief
We are among the first to respond when disaster strikes. Our Disaster Preparedness and Relief Programs enable Lions to help local communities - and contribute to Lions relief efforts in other countries - in the event of a natural, man-made, or healthcare emergency.
Please note: The CRC meets the first Thursday of each month. To be considered at the next CRC meeting, requests must be received five days prior to the Thursday meeting.
