Serving the community for over 50 years! The Greene County Lions Club is a local chapter of Lions Club International.

Located in Greene County, Virginia, we are a service organization that is dedicated to serving our community in the area of sight and hearing. We are best known for fighting blindness, but we also perform volunteer work for many kinds of community projects – including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled. Locally each year we provide free eye screenings for all pre-school, Kindergarten, 3rd grade and 7th grade students in Greene County Schools. We also provide eye screenings to the public throughout the year at local events such as the Strawberry Festival and the Greene County Fair. Other activities and events we sponsor in Greene include:

• Eyeglass purchases

These statistics are alarming but true. According to the CDC:

• 8.7 million people in the U.S. are living with undiagnosed diabetes.
• Approximately 80% of people with prediabetes are unaware they have it.

Unmanaged diabetes can cause serious health concerns. We’re expanding our health offerings this National Diabetes Month with free A1C testing for all who successfully give blood through Nov. 30 (one test result per calendar year).
