CHARITABLE CAUSES WE SUPPORT
Caring for Our Community
The Skaneateles Lions Club raises and contributes money to local, regional, and sometimes broader worthy causes. The Club provided free eye exams and glasses to several individuals in need in our community; 3000+ pairs of used eye glasses gathered by Club members and provided via Lions International to the needy in developing countries. All funds we raise from the general public are used for charitable purposes. Administrative costs are kept strictly separate and paid for by Club members.
