About the Annual Lions Apple Sale
For more than 30 years, Lions in the greater Olympia have sold apples each fall to fund service projects in the community. Thanks to many hundreds of happy repeat customers, the sale has grown from a few boxes sold out of a Lion's carport to a hugely successful fundraiser delivering thousands of boxes of apples each year.
The sale is still managed by Olympia Host Lions Club, but today dozens of Lions Clubs in towns from Poulsbo to Kalama also join in to offer their customers fresh eastern Washington apples delivered to their door. Youth groups - like the Olympia area Sea Cadets - often join in to help and raise money for their own projects.
You can do so much good!
Here's an important fact about Lions. For every Lions fundraiser, 100% of the money raised from the public is returned to the community in service projects supported by the Lions.
When you buy a box of apples from the Lions, you support important Lions projects like Camp Leo for Children with Diabetes, the Northwest Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center and the Lions Low Vision Resource Center right here in Olympia.
Other Lions projects funded by your apple purchase include:
- vision screening for school children and preschoolers to catch possible eye problems early
- purchasing eyeglasses and hearing aids for individuals in need
- helping to make sure our neighbors have food on the table
- giving dictionaries to 3rd graders each year
- bringing school children and their families together for an Earth Day park cleanup.
- assistance to families of children with cancer
