Staples Lions Club
We identify needs within our community as well as around the world, and then work to address those needs through hands-on service projects. All funds raised from projects are donated back to the local community, Minnesota Lions programs, or to international needs. Our club has been doing community service since December 1938. The members strive to make a difference and are banded together with other lions under the banner of Lions Clubs International. Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest service club organization with more than 1.3 million members in approximately 45,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.
Impact
“Thank you so much for your generosity in selecting me for the Staples Lions Club Scholarship. This scholarship will give me some security and peace of mind, knowing that some of my tuition is paid for. This will allow me to continue my studies with less worry of how I am going to pay for my studies. Coming from a single parent household, it was hard coming up with the funds necessary to attend college and having the money to pay my debts off as soon as I graduate. I appreciate this opportunity immensely and will continue my studies with more determination.”
