WHO ARE THE ELBERTON LIONS?
We have proudly served the Elberton community since 1953!
Our members are very different in many ways, but we share a core belief - our community is what we make it. That's because we help where help is needed. In short, We Serve.
Here are some of the things our club has done recently:
- Assist those in need in our community who are sight or hearing impaired. We help provide for eye exams and glasses.
- Provide monetary help and support to our community when a disaster occurs or with medical needs.
- College scholarships to deserving students who attend a major university or technical college.
- Provide monetary help to Safehouse Ministries, Inc.
- Support the Elbert County Band Boosters and academic boosters.
- At the State Level: Monetary support to: Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation, recording for the Blind and Dyslexic, Georgia Lions Children Eye Center, Georgia Camp for the Blind, and Georgia Camp for Diabetic Children.
- At the International Level: Monetary support to: Lions Leader Dog School for the Blind, Lions Projects for Canine Companion, and Lions Club International.
- Collect used eye glasses and hearing aids to refurbished and recycled to the needy in third world countries.
If you (or your friends or family members) would like to become involved in an upcoming project, or join our Lions Club, you can contact us in one of these two ways:
