Welcome to the Eugene Downtown Lions!

Chartered in 1924, the Eugene Downtown (EDT) Lions Club is 63 members strong, making it one of the largest Lions Clubs in Oregon. The EDT Lions meet on the first and third Wednesday at noon at the Eugene Mission to hear the latest reports on Club activities and to learn from an interesting array of speakers or enjoy performances by local musicians.

Heartfelt House

Heartfelt House, the patient family guest house on the PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at Riverbend campus, provides a tranquil, no-cost "home away from home" for out-of-town families while their loved ones are being cared for at Sacred Heart Medical Center at Riverbend or University District.

The Eugene Downtown Lions donated towards the building of the Heartfelt House and continue to support the guests with monthly donations to the pantry, library, or other specific needs. We provide funds for larger items through the EDLC's Elaine Gear Memorial Fund. We also have members that volunteer regularly.

We recently held our Breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Heartfelt House. It was a beautifully decorated venue that added a festive touch to the event. The kitchen was every pancake maker's dream! Our thanks to Lion Robin Yozzo, the Heartfelt House Director, for making it happen.

Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization with more than 1.4 million members in approximately 46,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.
