Lions Clubs International was created for the purpose of offering support to the visual and hearing impaired. Any adult or child with a financial challenge needing a hearing aid or eyeglasses may qualify for financial support. The Gates Lions Club often looks for members of the Gates community who may need these services.

Hearing aids and eyeglasses are only two of the services offered. The Gates Lions Club has built handicap ramps, delivered food baskets and given financial support to families in need. Members of the Gates community are invited to become partners and support the mission to be of service to those in need.

President George Hulbert can be reached at 436-4479 for anyone in need of these services.
