Wauconda Lions

The Wauconda Chapter of the Lions was founded in 1941 and is a part of the International
Association of Lions. Since its founding in Chicago nearly 100 years ago, Lions International
has become the largest community service organization in the world, with 1.4 million men and
women serving in over 200 countries. In addition to providing eyeglasses and hearing devices
to qualified individuals, we support the Wauconda Food Pantry, scholarships for Wauconda
High School graduates, the park district, mobile health screening vans for vision, hearing and
diabetes, summer camp, used eyeglass collection, the Annual White Cane Walk, the Lions of
Illinois Funds for Emergency (L.I.F.E.), and much more. We encourage anyone interested in
serving the community to join our club. No special skills are required and you will find the
rewards of participation include the pleasure of helping others, a greater sense of community
and lasting friendships with fellow members.

Please join us – you’ll be glad you did.
“We Serve.”

Mission Statement:

To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet
humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote
international understanding through Lions clubs.

The Lions motto is “ We Serve".

Did you know all Lion's Clubs collect eyeglasses? They are reprocessed and used by
needy people. Following is a list of places where you may drop off any eyeglass donations.
Thank you in advance for your help.
