Our Mission
The mission of the Batavia Lions club is to be a service leader in our community, and to support the national and global efforts of Lions Clubs International of which we are a part. While our primary services are directed at assistance to the visually and hearing hearing impaired, we also partner with many local agencies to provide community service of multiple varieties!
Assisting at the Batavia Park District Annual Easter Egg Hunt
Collecting donations for the Food Pantry!
“For so many, the Lions provide opportunities that simply wouldn’t exist without them”
Creating a terrifically fun event to assist the United Way of Batavia. The Club’s Annual “Underwear Party’ is just one of the many ways we live up to the Lion’s Club motto “ We Serve”!
Having fun While doing Great Things!
…together we can do so much
Our Local Services
Vision & Hearing
Community Assistance
Our club works to help people in Batavia with vision and hearing needs. We partner with Dr. Rand Toney of Toney Optometry in Batavia to provide eye exams and glasses for those in need. We also work with school nurses at Batavia Public Schools to provide services to students. https://bataviaoptometry.com/
Recycling
Several times each year we take glasses and hearing aids to the Lions Of Illinois Foundation office in Sycamore to be recycled. There are collection boxes located around town at the Library, the Park District, banks, churches, and eye doctors. The recycled glasses are distributed around the world, while the hearing aids are refurbished and provided through our Clubs to local residents in need. https://lionsofillinoisfoundation.org/
Hearing
We also provide help for hearing deficits in people over the age of 18. Batavia Lions have access to reduced cost hearing exams and hearing aids. We will consider other needed services.
Food Pantry
Our club supports the Batavia Interfaith Food Pantry through monthly donations at our regular meetings as well as volunteer efforts and financial support when possible. https://bataviafoodpantry.org
