Refractive errors can be easily corrected with eyeglasses, yet millions living in low and middle income countries lack access to basic eye care services.

People often ask "where can I donate glasses?" Here is a list of locations in West Seneca to donate eyeglasses.

The Lions also delivered several bags and boxes of outerclothes to the Friends of Night People, along with gift cards to McDonald’s and Tim Horton’s.

Final day for Lion President Barry Scott. What started out as a normal year then became a challenge. All West Seneca Lions thank you for keeping this together and finding different ways to help the community because of the virus. Now on to bigger and better things!
The West Seneca Lions continue to serve our community. On May 30th, several Lions gathered to perform our semiannual Adopt A Highway clean up. Garbage was picked up along a 2 mile stretch of Clinton Street from Union Road to Harlem Road. We were fortunate that we had a nice day to be out, and we filled quite a few large orange trash bags, Lions Serve!
