Chartered on January 8, 1936, the Westmont Lions Club is the oldest and one of the most dedicated service organizations in the Village of Westmont.

The Westmont Lions Club is a community organization serving the community in Vision, Hearing, Diabetes, Youth, Humanitarian, Hunger, Environment,… through fundraising events/activities. Over the past 80+ years, the Westmont Lions Club has risen to Helen Keller's challenge to become the ``knights of the blind'' by soliciting referrals from schools, medical facilities and community centers to send children and adults, who need assistance, but cannot afford the cost for eye exams, eye glasses and hearing aids. Each year we have helped 50 or more to see and hear better. Since the 1970’s we have awarded two 5th grade students (1 boy and 1 girl) from a Westmont School. Students are selected not because they get the best grades, but because they are the best student and classmate. Each year we hold a Scholarship Dinner Night and award monetary scholarships to Westmont Seniors, who attend a local high school in the Westmont area. We have fun with pancake breakfasts, ice cream socials, parades, barbeques, carnivals, Octoberfest and much more! Feel free to peruse through our website pages, to view our many service activities, projects and fundraisers as we conduct them throughout the year. If you or your friends or families would like to know more about us feel free to contact us. Maybe you just want to know more of what we do for our community or what Lions throughout the world do. Come join us! We are proud to say that we have become a pillar of service to the Village of Westmont. We welcome new members!

This week the Westmont Lions had the great honor to spread some joy to the local school districts #201 and #60 with our food insecurity program. We provided snacks to the schools and offices to hand out to those in need and provided some needed snacks during their school days! All this is possible because of the community coming out to our held events and supporting us along with a grant we received from DuPage County which allows us to serve more and more. Stay tuned as much more is coming from the Westmont Lions as WE SERVE!

What a great event the Westmont Lions had hosting the pancake breakfast during the Westmont Wicked West Fest Trick or Treat Business Trail last Saturday. So many residents from Westmont and all over came out to enjoy the beautiful day and all the festivities including the breakfast. Here is some of the fun we had the pleasure to celebrate with the community!

We were busy on Saturday!

Many of our Westmont Lions spent the day collecting donations for Lions Candy Day.

Thank you to all the wonderful community members who generously donated!

Also, a big shout-out to Lion Bernie Wozniak for coordinating the candy drive for our club. Well done!

The Lions Candy Day benefits multiple programs, provided by the Lions of Illinois Foundation. Some of those programs include our Low Vision Program for Students, Adult Low Vision-Orientation & Mobility Training, Camp Lions Summer Camp for Youth and Adults, and our Mobile Hearing and Retinal Screening Unit.

Lion Krystal was busy again this week serving our community by delivering our EmpowerHER kits to local groups.
Well done, Lion Krystal! Thank you for all that you do for this wonderful project!!

The EmpowerHER Essentials Kits are officially making their way into our community! 💗
Kits have already been delivered to People’s Resource Center, Downers Grove North, Downers Grove South, C.E. Miller Elementary, YWCA Metropolitan Chicago, DuPagePads, Fish & Loaves, and Teen Parent Connection.
The 540 kits assembled through this incredible community effort are now getting into the hands of local organizations and schools supporting women and girls. ❤️
You are valued. You are strong. You are not alone.

Super kudos to our wonderful Lion Krystal Nicole Vaughn for spearheading and running the EmpowerHER project!!
What a successful outcome!

Attached is Lion Krystal’s heartfelt thank you.

540 Kits. One Community. So Much Heart.

What an incredible night for EmpowerHER.

When this first started, it was simply an idea and a belief that no woman or girl should ever feel embarrassed, unprepared, or alone because she does not have access to essential feminine care products.

And then our community showed up.

Together, we filled 540 EmpowerHER Essentials Kits! Each one carries more than the products inside. It carries a message:

You are valued.
You are strong.
You are not alone.

I am so grateful to the Westmont Knights of Columbus, Westmont Lions Club, and Westmont Rotary Club for coming together to make this possible. I could not have done it without Tracey, Hank, Carla, and Bob spearheading this with me! A special thank you to the Knights of Columbus along with the Ladies Auxiliary for their incredible generosity and for presenting two checks in support of EmpowerHER, to the Westmont Rotary Club for keeping our volunteers fueled with snacks and drinks while we filled 540 kits, and to Holy Trinity Catholic Parish for generously providing the space for us to come together and assemble them.

A huge thank you to Hector at PostNet for creating the beautiful labels for each of our EmpowerHER Essentials Kits, and to Rick at RiteWay 2.0 Blueprint for taking that design and turning it into the amazing oversized EmpowerHER Essentials Kit poster for our event.

Thank you to our collection locations, community partners, businesses, organizations, volunteers, friends, family, and everyone who donated, shared, encouraged, or simply asked, “How can I help?” Every bit of support helped bring us to this moment.

And a special thank you to my mom, Mary, for making and donating two beautiful w**e boxes for our raffle, and to my friend, Jennifer, for donating a beautiful raffle basket.

Standing there surrounded by 540 completed kits and so many people who believed in this was a moment I will never forget.

540 kits are just the beginning.

EmpowerHER is about bringing our community together to give, connect, learn, and empower women and girls.

To everyone who believed in me, believed in this mission, and helped us reach this incredible first milestone, thank you.

This is EmpowerHER. 💗

The Westmont Lions enjoyed our annual Members Matter Picnic on Thursday evening at Twin Lakes! We had great food, beautiful weather, and an even better evening filled with friendship and fellowship.

A special thank-you to all of our guests and prospective future Lions who joined us. We hope you’ll come back and join us again soon!

Many of our Westmont Lions helped out at the National Night Out at Ty Warner on Tuesday evening.
Great job to all of the Lions who helped grill, wrap, and hand out hot dogs, as well as staff our table!

A special shout-out to Jewel-Osco in Westmont and its store manager, Sylvia! They generously donated 40 packages of hot dog buns, and their support was greatly appreciated.
