Lions Christmas tree lot now at the Ashland Farmers Market!

The Lions Christmas Tree lot is now in its new location at the Ashland Farmers Market, 125 Front Street. We will be open weekends 9 a.m. - 8 p.m., and weekdays 3 p.m. - 8 p.m., until we sell out (follow our Facebook page for changes in hours). Big thanks to the Boy Scouts Troop 232, AHS Leos Club, and AHS Football team for getting us up and running and helping us sell trees.

Please consider buying your fresh Christmas tree or wreath from the Ashland Lions this year and donate to a great cause. We now accept cash, credit cards and Venmo for payment! Act fast, we expect to sell out quickly,.

Remember, Lions give back 100% of profits from all fundraisers to our local community, Lions Club International charitable causes, and to Mass Lions Eye Research, who works toward preventing and curing blindness.

Again this year, the Ashland Lions are proud to support our town's holiday lighting ceremony at the holiday stroll with cookies for all.


Ashland Lions Meat Raffles

Ashland Lions is in full swing with another great year of meat raffles! Our next meat raffle will be held on Saturday, Jan. 3, 2026. Raffles are normally held on the first Saturday of each month at 12 p.m., at TJs Food and Spirits in Ashland, and continue throughout the winter. As always, there will be great food, fun people, and great meat to choose from.


Senior Breakfasts 

Seniors, why not join us and other community members for breakfast? Senior Breakfasts are held on the first Thursday of each month (weather permitting) at the Ashland Senior Center, 162 West Union St, in Ashland. This event runs through May. Contact the Senior Center to sign up no later than the Monday prior to the event.


Coats for Kids and Families

Ashland Lions Club is partnering again with Anton’s Cleaners for the Coats for Kids and Families Drive. We are collecting warm winter coats for adults and children. CFK&F accepts gently used, high-quality warm winter coats in all sizes. Coats should not have rips, tears, broken zippers, or permanent stains. They will be cleaned by Anton’s Cleaners and made available to local nonprofits, social service agencies, and schools to ensure that the coats are given to those who really need them, free of charge. Coats may be dropped off at the Ashland Public Safety Building (12 Union Street), in Ashland at Focus on Fitness (290 Eliot St.), and Cleaner’s Choice and Tailor (193 Main St.).
