About Lions

Since 1917, Lions clubs have offered people the opportunity to give something back to their communities. From involving members in projects as local as cleaning up an area park or as far-reaching as bringing sight to the world's blind, Lions clubs have always embraced those committed to building a brighter future for their community.

Today with more than approximately 45,000 clubs in 197 countries and geographical areas, Lions have expanded their focus to help meet the ever-increasing needs of our global community.

The Glassboro Lions Club was formed in 1947 by a group of local men who felt the need to organize and follow the goals set by Melvin Jones, the original founder of the Lions Club. Initially started by a small group of men, the organization continued to grow and has faithfully served the Glassboro Community for over 50 years in a variety of ways.

The Glassboro Lions Club is presently __ members strong and includes both men and women. We remain involved in our community by sponsoring a Glassboro Little League team, sponsoring Boy Scout Troop # 289, the Glassboro Cub Scouts, a Boys State Representative, the Girl Scouts Troop of Glassboro, the Glassboro High School LEO Club, supporting the Glassboro F.O.P. Lodge and their activities, assisting with the adopt-a-highway clean-up program. We also provide three major scholarships for Glassboro High School Seniors.

The Glassboro Lions Club also supports the activities of The Camden Eye Center, Camp Marcella for the blind, Canine Hearing companions, the Delaware Valley Eye Bank, Bestworks Industries for the blind, The Juvenile Diabetes foundation, New Jersey Blind Athletes Association and the Lions District 16-C Charitable Foundation.

We also remain involved in the activities of District 16-C and support the goals and fund raising events of other Lions Clubs in the District 16-C area.

It is a goal of the Glassboro Lions Club to continue to grow as a service organization in the Glassboro area. To the best of our ability, we will always help our neighbors in need. We will also continue to assist the Lions Club’s District 16-C with achieving it’s goals, and Lions Club International with it’s goals throughout the world.

The Glassboro Lions Club will continue to be a strong, community-oriented service organization well into the future. Join us as we serve our friends and neighbors in need around the world.
