Flags
The Edmonds Lions Club's first flag day, scheduled for Martin Luther King day in January of 1990, almost didn't happen.
Flags were ordered but had not yet arrived. Fortunately, Lions member and Past-President, Jack Hacket, worked at Evergreen-Washelli Cemetery and was able to borrow 90 Veterans Day flags on hand to tide the Club over until the flag shipment arrived. It was an interesting assortment of flags. Some were quite old, and the number of stars on those flags represented by-gone eras. The Club now posts over 300 flags throughout Edmonds on designated holidays.
Like the flag displays on holidays? Sign up your business by contacting us through our website. One flag is $40 per year; multiple flag discount. One hundred percent of the proceeds support our nonprofit programs that are rendered at no cost to the recipients.

White Cane Day
The Northwest Lions Foundation, head-quartered in Seattle, Washington, hosts an annual October fundraiser to support its three major projects: a mobile health screening van; patient care grants for sight related medical procedures; and project support grants that help support community vision programs. Donors receive a White Cane Day lapel pin.
Health Screening Van
The Lions Sight and Hearing Health Screening van is a 62 foot long, medically equipped vehicle that provides free health screening at schools, fairs, and other public events. The screenings include diabetes, glaucoma, high blood pressure, and sight and hearing loss. The van's schedule brings it to the Edmonds area during October.
Food Bank Raffle
Our popular annual raffle to benefit the Edmonds Food Bank was cancelled until further notice because of the COVID virus. Smaller less crowded events to help the Food Bank are held throughout the year.

Clothing
Clothes for Kids, a nonprofit organization, provides quality used clothing for needy children from infancy through high school. Participating children must provide a statement from their school confirming their qualification.
The Edmonds Lions Club obtains used clothes from the Edmonds Thrift Store and other donors. Volunteers sort through the donated items and deliver up to 23 bags of clothes and shoes to Clothes for Kids every week.

Perrinville Garden
The flower garden on the corner of the Perrinville Post Office property in Edmonds was established in 1995 as a community service project to be maintained by the Meadowdale High School Leos, a group of community minded teens mentored by the Edmonds Lions Club. Over the years the project was carried on by the Girl Scouts and the Leos. In time park maintenance came back to the Edmonds Lions Club pictured to the right sprucing up the daffodil corner of the garden.
