Established in 1917 in Chicago, the Elgin Club began in 1921 and has been offering vision assistance for well over 100 years!
The Elgin Lions Club works with the Community Crisis Center and U-46 School Nurses to provide eyeglasses to those needing assistance. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, the Elgin Lions provided 80 children and adults with a free eye exam and eyeglasses. This service is considered the primary one for both the Elgin Lions as well as Lions International. At the Lions 1925 International Convention, Helen Keller challenged the Lions to be "knights to the blind in the crusade against darkness." Thus began this main mission for the Lions.
