Barre Lions Club Mission Achievements 2003 - 2014

The Barre Lions Club is in it's 76th year and continue to serve those individuals and organizations in need in Central Vermont. Annually our charitable giving exceeds $30,000 dollars with at least half of it going to the purchase of glasses and hearing devices to those who do not have the personal income to afford them.

Although we have a number of fundraising events, your donations allow us to do even more charitable work in the community.
