The Fond du Lac Evening Lions provide services to community, state and international projects to help those in need have a better life through vision, hearing, handicapped or other projects that help those less fortunate than ourselves.

Low Vision Readers

On occasion, our club provides residents of Fond du Lac with a low vision reader providing we have one available to loan out.  If you have one of these readers and would like to donate it to our club so others with low vision problems can have one available to them, contact our club.

​

Medical Equipment

We are sorry, but due to our club's size and mission, we can not offer support for the building or funding of ramps at private homes.  We also do not provide medical equipment for individuals.  The Larsen-Winchester Lions Club, west of Neenah, does have a medical equipment locker and will provide equipment to state residents. They are open Tuesdays and Saturdays from 9 to 11 am. Their building is behind the Larsen Town Hall on Cty. Hwy. T in Larsen.

​

The Fox Valley Lions Clubs in the Appleton area also have a medical equipment loan locker at 312 W. Northland Ave. in Appleton.  Their hours are Wednesdays from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 to 11 a.m.
