Coats for Kids: Thank You

Thanks to the generosity of residents in Bedford and Lexington, 280 coats were donated this season.

A special thank you to our collection locations:
Eagle Bank, Lexington Community Center, Munroe Center for the Arts, and Stop & Shop in Bedford.

Our Core Mission: Saving Sight

Since Helen Keller challenged Lions to be “Knights of the Blind,” our primary mission has been fighting blindness. The majority of the funds we raise go directly to the Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Fund.
