The Kalispell Lions Club consists of men and women dedicated to the Lions Club motto "We Serve"          

We are a part of a world-wide organization of people who serve the needs of people in our community state country and world.  Lions Clubs are found in over 100 countries in the world.

Internationally, the Lions International Eye Bank supports cornea transplants, sight conservation and other work relating to helping the blind regain their sight or function better in the dark world. The Northwest Eye Bank in Seattle is part of this network.

Locally, the Kalispell Lions support a variety of area needs, from eye glasses to scholarships and from Lions Park to various youth activities.

In 2006 we started Strides Diabetes Walk in conjunction with the Kalispell Regional Medical Center Diabetes Awareness program to raise money and awareness of diabetes.

The club meets once a week to report on business and hear an informative program.

Part of the dedication and fun of the Kalispell Lions Club is demonstrated in our variety of fund-raising projects.  For instance, members look forward to sell raffle tickets for a rifle, work on Lions Park or enjoy a picnic. In conjunction with other area Lions Clubs we operate the Bitterroot Lions Youth Camp. 

The Northwest Montana Fair brings out Lions and friends of Lions to visit and joke with each other as they sell our famous fry bread and Polish sausage dogs at the Kalispell Lions food booth.  We enjoy working together on projects to server the community.
