Our Story
Serving the Fort Collins community for over a century.
Fort Collins Lions Club: A Legacy of Service Since 1920
For over 105 years, the Fort Collins Lions Club has been a cornerstone of fellowship and service in Northern Colorado. As part of Lions Clubs International—the world’s largest service club organization—we are dedicated to answering the needs that challenge our community.
From funding vital vision and hearing programs to supporting youth initiatives and local non-profits, our mission is simple: We Serve. When a Lion rolls up their sleeves, problems get smaller, and communities get better.
Our Mission
We are dedicated to multiple service goals, prioritizing support for the visually and hearing impaired, and empowering our youth to make positive life decisions. Caring enough to share our resources, time, and talents is the hallmark of Lionism. By participating in this club, we join with other Lions globally to make a critical difference in the lives of others.
