The "History" button has the history of Lionism and the Kent Lions. The "KLC Honors" button has a list of awards that the Kent Lions has received and lists of past presidents, Melvin Jones Fellowship Awardees. The "Members" button has a list of all of our members. We come from every walk of life! Who are the Kent Lions? The Kent Lions is an all-volunteer "Community Service Organization". We are a group of individuals dedicated to help those in need, providing enhancement to our community through hands-on projects and grants, and to creating an environment that allows our members to enrich their own lives by selfishly serving others.
What do the Lions do? The main charitable cause of the Lions worldwide is eyesight, hearing, and diabetes conservation programs. This is only a partial list, as individual Lions Clubs are involved in a wide scope of other charities. We raise funds through the community and our members contribute their time, money, and effort in order to provide assistance on the various Kent Lions Projects. The prestige and importance of Lionism’s work in all fields of service endeavor is recognized throughout the entire world.
