The Grand Rapids Lions have done much for our community but there is much left undone. There are children who are having difficulty learning in school because their families can't afford to buy them glasses. There are visually impaired who can't experience the world outside their homes because they don't have a trained leader dog. You can help us do more in our community.

•  Joining us as a member (see the "How do I Join" section).

• The Grand Rapids Lions Club is a part of the "Grand Rapids Community Foundation."  Did you know that a couple can donate $400 to the Foundation in the name of the Grand Rapids Lions Club annually and receive a $200 tax credit on your Michigan state taxes? That’s $200 off the tax you owe, not just a deduction!

  Send your donation to: 
  Grand Rapids Community Foundation
  161 Ottawa Ave. NW
  Grand Rapids, MI 49503

  On the memo line of your check write "Grand Rapids Lions Club"

•  Remember the Grand Rapids Lions in your estate planning. Bequests in your name will do great things in your name long after your passing. Lynn Francis at lynnfrancis@grar.com can help in this area.

•  Donate eyeglasses at a location near you.  (see the "Eyeglass Drop-off" section).
