West Corners Lions Club fundraisers: where the money comes from
The West Corners Lions Club has served this community for more than sixty years, and our fundraisers are how that service gets paid for. Every chicken dinner sold, every Christmas tree carried to a car, every turkey raffled off turns directly back into the community: into scholarships for local students, food for area pantries, and help for neighbors facing a hard season. When you support a Lions fundraiser, you are not buying from a business. You are funding the work.
Coming up
Turkey Party: Saturday, November 21.
Christmas tree sales: begin Friday, November 27.
Chicken Barbecue: the spring barbecue, date to be announced.
Turkey Party
One night in November, the club holds its annual Turkey Party. Visit the Turkey Party page for event details.
Christmas Tree Sales
Every year after Thanksgiving the club sells Christmas trees to support its community work. Visit the Christmas Tree Sales page for details.
Chicken BBQs
Our chicken barbecues are a West Corners tradition, and for a lot of people in the area they are the first time they meet the club. Dinners are served from 11 AM until they are gone. We run several of these throughout the year. A Lions chicken barbecue is a fundraiser, not a restaurant: we cook a few times a year to raise money for the club’s community work, and every dinner sold goes back into scholarships, donations, and local service projects. Dates are posted here and on our Facebook page as each one is set.
We cook in a trailer with covers on it, so we can cook in any weather. You can see it in the picture. It lets us flip the chickens with one hand.
Lions brooms
Lions brooms are for sale all year. Visit the Lions Brooms page for details.
Where the money goes
Every dollar raised at a West Corners Lions fundraiser stays close to home. Our fundraising supports scholarships for local students, restocking area food pantries, support for families facing emergencies, and cards and visits for residents of area nursing homes. You can read more about that work on our Services page.
