club projects

The Olney Chapter of the Lions Club was founded in 1972, and since has grown to become an iconic symbol for always being thereto help out a local school, a neighbor, a support group, or a youth organization. The Olney Lions Club is successful because it listens to the citizens of Olney and provides assistance where it’s needed most — from running blood drives to packing food boxes for those in need to cleaning up roads and walkways to raising funds for charities.
