Being a Poulsbo Lion isn't just about going to a meeting and hearing a speaker every week. There's a social component - we enjoy ballgames, Christmas parties, Steak Night, and more. But we're a community service club.
Poulsbo Lions support 8 causes:
1. Childhood Cancer - We collect and take stuffies to Mary Bridge Children's Hospital.
2. Diabetes - We support Camp Leo for kids with Type 1 diabetes. The camp educates kids and gives them support.
3. Disaster Relief - We give support where needed.
4. Environment - We help with local parks and pick up litter.
5. Humanitarian - We address a health/human need helping a vulnerable population clean clothes and bedding with our Loads of Change service project.
6. Hunger - Our Firehouse Garden provides organic, nutritious food to ShareNet Food Bank and we contribute funds and labor to Fishline.
7. Vision - We screen children's eyes all year long, provide free eye exams and glasses to low-income individuals, and support cornea transplants.
8. Youth - We empower young people through Leo Clubs that encourage leadership and positive choices. They hold blood drives, cancer walks, collect clothing for the needy, etc.
