We Serve

Madison Lions Club is a community of people who believe that small acts of service can make a lasting difference. Our members come from many different backgrounds, beliefs, professions, and life experiences, but we are united by a common commitment to serving others. If you're looking to be part of something bigger than yourself, to make a difference in your community while building lasting friendships, we'd love to welcome you. Our meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.

Last meeting

The featured guest at our September meeting was Adam Crowson, formerly with the Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin and now with the Restoring Hope Transplant House.

Located in Middleton, Restoring Hope provides comfortable, affordable lodging for transplant patients and their caregivers while they receive care at Madison-area hospitals. This nonprofit offers a welcoming home away from home, where families can find support and connect with others facing similar challenges.

Featured Service Projects

Project of the Month, November 2026: Vision Screening

Helping protect sight has always been a cornerstone of Lions service, and this November we are highlighting one of our most important projects: free vision screening. Madison Lions Club has supported children's vision screening for more than 30 years, investing in equipment and working with neighboring clubs to reach more families. That cooperation continues this November, with a busy schedule of children's screening events listed on the calendar on our vision screening page.

While we provide vision screening for adults, our primary focus is on children, helping identify potential vision problems early, while their sight is still developing. Young children may not realize that they see differently from anyone else. Trained Lions volunteers use specialized screening cameras that do not require children to read an eye chart.

Our commitment to healthy vision also extends to adults. Madison Lions Club volunteers screen adults at the Latino Health Fair at Luther Memorial Church in Madison on September 9, 2023.

Learn more about Lions vision screening and view the screening calendar, including November's children's screening events. To discuss a screening for your school, early childhood program, or community group, email info@madisonlionsclub.org.
