About Our Club & Projects
Lions Love to Read
Guilford County Wide Cyber Lions Club loves to read and support literacy. We believe that reading is FUNdamental! In an effort to help decrease road blocks and impact improvement following the pandemic, we created Lions Love to Read.
Hunger & Food Insecurity
The Guilford County Wide Cyber Lions see the hunger problem growing in our community and work to help those in need. Our projects include feeding the unhomed at the Interactive Resource Center and the folks who reside in the Pallet Homes, holding food drives to help supply food pantries, handing out food bags, donating to and supporting university food pantries, helping individual families and educating them on resources and handing out grocery store gift cards.
Thanking Frontline Workers
This is our way to thank those in the community who are always working and available to the public no matter the circumstance. They are our first points of contact even in the most distressed of times. Generally, they fall into the following industries, but not limited under: healthcare, public order and safety, hospitality, retail, social work, food industry, mail carriers, major transportation, etc. The GCWC Lions thank them every March in a variety of ways.
Winter Coat Drive
You know that kelly green coat you had to have that just sits in your closet? How about that jacket that no longer fits your child? Please consider donating these coats to the Guilford County Cyber Lions Annual Winter Coat Drive!
The need grows annually and we accept donations all year long.
Diabetic & Special Diet School Snacks
Our Diabetic & Special Diet School Snack Program provides snack and diet specific snacks like gluten free, nut free, and diabetic friendly options to five local Title 1 (at least 57.20% of the families are identified as low income) elementary schools in our area. Each quarter we coordinate with the school counselors to do a snack drop off. This initiative allows our club to support our future leaders and young scholars while fighting hunger and promoting inclusivity.
Period Packs for Schools
When a local elementary school emails us for help, we welcome the chance. So many girls, as young as in third grade, are getting their periods in school. Often times, the schools do not have the necessary clothing changes for these students. We began providing Period Packs for elementary schools. Word spread and we provided more!
Thanksgiving Turkey Drop
Our Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Drop provides gift cards for turkeys to 200 families at five different elementary schools. This is one of our most popular and festive service projects. Some schools give the gift cards directly to the families while others pool the cards and provide an entire feast with other food they collect. Knowing we help make this possible is a joy to us all.
