We Serve Our club is one of over 46,000 clubs worldwide, part of an international organization with over 1.3 million members in 193 countries!

The first Lion’s Club was formed in 1917, “You can’t get very far until you start doing something for somebody else”, was the personal code of the founder, Melvin Jones. The Poquoson Lions Club has been serving the community for 62 years, and was chartered in 1948 with the intent of offering people the opportunity to take an active interest in the civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of the community. Our intent is to allow members to unite in the bonds of friendship, good fellowship and mutual understanding and to encourage service-minded people to serve their community. Our goal is to do together what one person could not do alone. As with all Lions Clubs our service projects concentrate on sight and hearing conservation, diabetes awareness and youth activities. However, we have and will always adapt to the needs or our community from providing assistance after Hurricane Isabel to helping needy families with basic subsistence. I hope you find this site interesting and informative, and please take a minute and provide us feedback through our Guestbook. I am privileged and honored to be part of this organization and to have this opportunity to serve as club president as we live our motto, “We Serve”.

Eyeglass and Hearing Aid Collection

The Poquoson Lions Club collects used eyeglasses and hearing aids to help individuals who might otherwise be unable to afford these essential services.

Eyeglass Recycling

Lions, Leos, and other volunteers collect used eyeglasses to donate to Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers worldwide.

Donated eyeglasses are sorted, cleaned, repaired when needed, and classified by prescription. They are then distributed to people in need through Lions volunteers and other organizations conducting vision care missions in developing countries.

Hearing Aid Recycling

Donated hearing aids are collected by the club's Hearing Conservation Committee and may be refurbished and fitted for individuals who cannot afford to purchase hearing aids on their own.

The club also helps coordinate hearing workshops, free hearing tests, and community education about hearing loss.

Collection Locations

The Poquoson Lions Club maintains collection boxes made from repurposed and repainted mailboxes at three convenient locations in our community.

Used eyeglasses and hearing aids may be dropped off at:

Dollar Tree / Anna's Restaurant – 462 Wythe Creek Road, Poquoson

CVS Pharmacy – 452 Wythe Creek Road, Poquoson

Food Lion, Bethel Plaza – 2900 Hampton Highway, Yorktown

Your donations can make a meaningful difference in someone's ability to see or hear!

THANK YOU!

The Poquoson Lions Club extends a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who supported our hamburger and hot dog sales at the Poquoson Seafood Festival and contributed to our White Cane Days fundraising efforts last week!

Thanks to your generosity, these funds, combined with a matching grant from the Lions of Virginia Foundation, Inc. (LOVF), will enable us to renovate and refresh the IPOP Playground at Poquoson Primary School.

Your support makes a difference, and we couldn't do it without you!
