DUNNELLON LIONS CLUB, INC
DUNNELLON, FLORIDA

Founded in 1887, Dunnellon Florida soon became known for phosphate mining. As a result of phosphate mining, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co opened a station in 1908 to help transport phosphates, logs, and passengers to their destinations. The Dunnellon Lions Club Chartered in 1945, the Dunnellon Lions Club has been an active part of our community. In the beginning, this club has helped locals to obtain the glasses they needed, but could not afford to pay for. Throughout the years, the Dunnellon Lions Club has evolved to not only assist people who need glasses, but help raise awareness to underlying diseases that cause blindness. We offer Diabetes screening and retina scanning to help find issues before they take hold. The Dunnellon Lions Club raises awareness for hunger and help facilitate food drives to feed people in our town. But we do not stop there. If a town close to us suffers a major blow, the Dunnellon Lions are there to offer assistance. In August of 2016, Hurricane Hermine swept through North-East Florida all but destroying a small island town, Cedar Key. Once the roads were opened, members of the Dunnellon Lions Club reached out to local residents to ask for help in collecting supplies and funds to provide hot meals. Within hours, a truck was loaded and on its way. The members of the Dunnellon Lions Club are proud to be a part of this community, proud to participate in local events and pageants, and proud to be able to assist those who need us most.
