Greenville Lions Club: at the Cotton Fair
Chartered in 1977, the Greenville Lions Club (GLC) has been a steady force for good in the community for more than 36 years. With 30 dedicated members, the club focuses on serving those in need and creating opportunities that make a lasting impact.
One of their biggest annual fundraisers is their peanut sales booth at the Cotton Fair. Visitors look forward to grabbing a bag of fresh, delicious peanuts, knowing the proceeds go directly back into programs that benefit local residents.
The Greenville Lions Club supports a wide range of initiatives throughout the year, including:
Providing eye exams, glasses, and vision screenings for children using the Spot Vision Screener
Supporting Leader Dog programs for the blind
Hosting diabetic education programs and supporting Camp Kudzu
Partnering with Habitat for Humanity on local projects
Sponsoring a football team dinner to encourage youth involvement
Offering scholarships for college-bound students
Funding a relief budget to assist families in crisis
Supplying food pantries and providing snacks and meals for children to take home
Organizing blood drives and clothing collections
Supporting the Empty Stocking Fund to help families during the holidays
Each of these efforts represents the club’s commitment to living out their mission of service.
When you stop by their booth at the Cotton Fair this year and pick up a bag of peanuts, you are helping the Greenville Lions Club continue this important work. Every purchase supports vision care, youth programs, community aid, and so much more.
