Please do not drop off cases, just eyeglasses and frames only.

Adopt-A-Highway

Rockford Lions have adopted two stretches of highway in Hennepin County.  Pick up occurs twice a year in the spring and fall.

1. County Rd 10 from Hwy 55 north to Indian Trail (2 miles)
2. County Rd 92 from Hwy 55 north to County Rd 50 (1/2 mile)

Please do your part to keep all of our highways free from debris and litter.

RiverWorks is a local non-profit organization that runs the food shelf for the Rockford and Greenfield area.  The Rockford Lions provided funding for food and building materials prior to opening its doors in March of 2010.  The club continues to financially support and regularly volunteer at the food shelf.

Some facts from RiverWorks for 2010:

• 1,136 of our neighbors visited the food shelf at least once 
• 434 people on average were served each month
• 109,445 pounds of food were handed out
• The fastest growing type of person needing assistance from a food shelf is underemployed and/or their hours or pay have been cut
