Melrose Lions Club
About
The Melrose Lions Club is a local service club that raises money to help families in need in Melrose. It belongs to Lions Clubs International, the world’s largest service club organization, with more than 1.4 million members in clubs across over 200 countries and areas. Members run a series of annual fundraisers and community events, turning donations and volunteer time into support for neighbors throughout the city.
Each March the club holds White Cane Day, collecting donations from residents and businesses around town. An April breakfast at the Melrose Elks Hall, cooked by members, adds raffles with prizes donated by local businesses. At the fall Melrose Victorian Fair, the Lions bring an eye-mobile trailer where a local eye doctor offers vision evaluations. Every December the club sponsors a Home for the Holidays meal for residents ahead of Santa’s arrival.
