The Darien Lions Club Foundation was established to fund programs to help people with vision or hearing impairments or people who need food.

“Last holiday season, the Darien Lions Club, with the help of the Darien Park District and other Darien community organizations and individuals, distributed about a weeks’ worth of food (and gifts for each child) to almost 200 needy families in our area,” according to the release.

The foundation “is a stand-alone endowment fund that can receive monetary donations on a tax-exempt basis.” Donations are used only for programs serving people in the Darien area.
