Welcome to Our Web Page

If you are new in the area and looking to do some volunteer work with a group of friendly, cheerful people, you have come to the right place. Explore this website to learn about the activities we do and about some of the people who do them.

On the other hand, if you are here looking for help, you have also come to theright place. The Lions motto is “We serve.” That is what we do. Our special mission is assisting those with vision and hearing problems, particularly those who lack the financial resources to deal with these problems. We are here to help you.

We are the largest Lions Club in Oregon with just over one hundred members. Our club meets every Wednesday noon all year at the Eugene Hilton downtown. We are a very active club with numerous social activities to go along with our charitable work.

So please take the time to explore this website. You will learn that we are active in preserving and improving our environment, in feeding the hungry, and in offering accommodations to people whose loved ones are hospitalized. In fact, we are always looking for new ways to serve the needs of this community, state, country, and, indeed, our world.

There are phone numbers and e-mail addresses listed to help you contact us. The Eugene Downtown Lions Club is here to serve you, and we would also welcome you to join us as part of the largest service club in the world.
