Happy New Year  - Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

We will still be collecting gently used coats for children and adults until Jan. 10, 2026. Location of collection boxes are: Town Hall (Main St.), Ashland Nails (W. Union St.), Community Center (W. Union St.), Shear Perfection (Homer Ave.), and the Residence at Valley Farms (Pond St.). For further information, please contact Lion Debbi at 508-881-2117.

The club has been signing and sending holiday cards to those that are in nursing homes and assisted living. We fight senior loneliness one letter at a time. Through handwritten messages of love, hope, and joy, our volunteer community brings seniors connection and improves their mental and physical health.

During this past holiday season, our club supported many groups and organizations, including the Ashland Christmas Gift Program (we purchased gift cards that were given to girls and boys), the Ashland Emergency Fund, and the Senior Monthly Meals, to name a few.

Do you have Pull Tabs? We still collect them, and they get sent to the Shriners. Contact Lion Rosalie at 508-881-4743 for more info.

For those of you who may have any used eyeglasses or unneeded hearing aids, you may drop them off at the Police Station (located in the Public Safety Building at 12 Union St.), Market Basket (Pond St. / Rte.126), the VFW (at 311 Pleasant St.), or the Town Hall (Main St.). 

Wanting to get involved in the community? We’re a low-pressure group of service-oriented folks always looking for new members. If you'd like to learn more about the Lions and our club, please contact Lion Alexis at [email protected].
