We Serve

Madison Lions Club is a community of people who believe that small acts of service can make a lasting difference. Our members come from many different backgrounds, beliefs, professions, and life experiences, but we are united by a common commitment to serving others. If you're looking to be part of something bigger than yourself, to make a difference in your community while building lasting friendships, we'd love to welcome you. Our meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.

Last meeting

The featured guest at our September meeting was Adam Crowson, formerly with the Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin and now with the Restoring Hope Transplant House.

Located in Middleton, Restoring Hope provides comfortable, affordable lodging for transplant patients and their caregivers while they receive care at Madison-area hospitals. This nonprofit offers a welcoming home away from home, where families can find support and connect with others facing similar challenges.

Featured Service Projects

Project Of the Month, October 2026: Highway Cleanup

Lions are dedicated to caring for the environment and keeping our communities clean. Since 2012, Madison Lions Club has put that commitment into action through our highway cleanup project. Twice a year, club members gather to remove trash from our adopted two-mile stretch of County Highway TT near the County Highway N and Interstate 94 interchange, north of Cottage Grove.

In two hours, club members fill as many as two dozen bags of trash. Bottles and everyday litter are only part of what turns up. Part of our section of highway runs alongside a golf course, so finding stray golf balls has become a familiar part of the cleanup. But our crews have also found auto parts, tools, and building materials.

Some discoveries are more surprising than others. A 2017 cleanup turned up a wrapped ham and a dollar bill!

Whatever we find, a few hours of teamwork leave this stretch of highway cleaner for everyone. Our next highway cleanup is coming up soon, Saturday, October 24. Interested in helping? Contact info@madisonlionsclub.org for volunteer information.
