Welcome to the Sandy Spring Lions Club's website! For more than 60 years, we've proudly served our community by doing things like:
- holding a variety of fundraisers annually and giving all the proceeds back to the community, primarily through scholarships and donations to other non-profit organizations;
- performing free vision and hearing screenings at preschools and local events;
- physically helping other service organizations with their fundraisers;
- supporting the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute;
- participating in the Lions Leader Dog Program; and,
- keeping Ednor Road free of trash through the Adopt-a-Road program.
