Lions Clubs International is the world's largest volunteer service organization, with clubs all over the globe.

 

 

The Anchorage Latino Lions Club is a small club whose members are great big passionate givers.  Once a month, through the Anchorage Anti-Hunger Network of the Food Bank of Alaska (FBA), the Club shares food with over 300 families in the Northeast side of Anchorage.  At Christmas time the Club throws a party with gifts and food for the children, and a Club member sits as Santa Claus and hands out gifts and homemade treats to the children. 

Along with other Anchorage and Girdwood lions, the Club participates in the Big Pumpkin Festival where it runs the Spin-the-Wheel game for the children, and it pitches in when another local club needs additional hands for an event or project.  For years the Club helps set up the stage for the Alaska Muscular Dystrophy Telethon. As part of the International Lions efforts to help the blind and vision impaired the Club also runs a "white cane" fundraiser. Its main fundraiser is the Fall Festival, which takes place every other year around September.
