With the Club Locator there are two ways to search for clubs:

“Keyword” search allows users to type in a club name or a partial address, and will yield results that match your search term exactly. This is great if you want to find a particular club by name or find all the clubs in your city or country, for example.

“Location” search is powered by Google Maps, and it allows users to find all the clubs nearby a particular location. A search by town name may yield several results because it will approximate the location of the town on a map and search for all the clubs within a certain radius of that location. This is a powerful way to search if you want to find clubs near your home address.
Once you've located a club, click the envelop icon to send a message to the club.


If you are unable to find a local Walmart or local Lions Club you can mail your eyeglasses or unopened contact lenses to the nearest Lions Eyeglasses Recycling Center (LERC). To find the nearest LERC https://www.lionsclubs.org/en/resources-for-members/resource-center/eyeglass-recycling-centers
