Since 1922, the key to our longevity and success has been combining our service mission with fellowship and fun. Both sustain us and fuel our continued growth and efforts in the community. Our weekly meetings are conducted in that spirit and the laughter and camaraderie are contagious. Fun and fellowship also accompany our fundraising events and social gatherings.
Membership in the Whittier Host Lions Club is an honor and a privilege and is by invitation only. We meet at 11:45 AM for lunch, a program, and fellowship, at the Azar Events Center at 12215 Slauson Avenue, Santa Fe Springs. Meetings adjourn at approx. 1:15 PM. Speak with one of our members to learn more about the Club or email us and our Membership Chairman will help answer any questions you may have.
In the past ten years through our Foundation, Whittier Host Lions Club has given over $1.1 Million from our fundraising activities back to the greater Whittier community. We are an all-volunteer non-profit service organization! Our philanthropic activities have assisted numerous non-profits and individuals in our community including our local YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, Women and Children’s’ Crisis Shelter, Interfaith Food Bank, Academy of Music for the Blind, and local schools through the purchase of musical instruments and support of sports teams.
Our annual Sight Fair is one of the Club’s keystone events we do for the community, which provides eye exams and glasses to Whittier area school children and others who need vision assistance. Annually, we provide the gift of improved sight to hundreds of sight-challenged people in our community.
