Lions Club Of Morgan Hill

P.O. Box 464
408-268-9619

The Morgan Hill Lions club is a non-profit organization and has been serving the community of Morgan Hill since 1938. The club is made up of a diverse group of men and women dedicated in helping those less fortunate and providing the gift of sight and hearing to those in need. We also provide assistance to needy organizations.

Lions are International and are more than 1.4 million members of men and women, young and old and in every profession. You will find Lions in more than 180 countries and geographical areas around the world. Lions speak dozens of languages and practice many varied customs. Yet despite this diversity, we all share a common spirit. Since our beginnings in 1917 we have been united with a single focus: helping those less fortunate. Lions have never backed away from the tough problems that plague our brothers and sisters. We have stood fast against the ravages of blindness, deafness, and diabetes and on the side of the disabled, underprivileged, elderly and our youth. Millions of people can see today and can work to support their families because of the blindness prevention activities of Lions and Lions Clubs International Foundation.(LCIF). LCIF has granted more than US $200 million for humanitarian service projects to improve the quality of life for individuals and communities worldwide.

The Morgan Hill Lions do so appreciate the donations and support the community gives to us by way of contributing to our fundraisers, (White Cane Days, our Scholarship drive, Annual Pancake Breakfasts, etc). The public's generous donations help the Lions provide necessary eye exams and glasses and hearing aids to the needy.

When the citizens of the community donate their used prescription eyeglasses, the Lions recycle them and then are able to provide the gift of sight to those in need in underdeveloped countries abroad. The local Optometrists in Morgan Hill graciously collect used prescription eyeglasses for the Morgan Hill Lions club. You can drop off any prescription glasses that you may have to them and the glasses will get to us. Lions also collect and recycle used hearing aids and cell phones. You can also deliver glasses and these other items to Lion Leonard Geraci at Seven Trees Realty on Cosmo in Morgan Hill.
