Annual Community Services

Through our pull-tab sites and various fundraisers, the Annandale Lions Club is proud to support community activities, events like those below.  But in addition, over these many years we have had many work projects!  See our History page for more information.

Breakfast is served!

The Lions Club assists many charitable organizations with their fundraising efforts by donating the use of our cook-trailer and pancake-flipping skills.  The organizations keep all of the funds raised.  These tasty breakfasts typically include pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, coffee, milk and juice.  So join us for breakfast and help these organizations with their fundraising efforts!  

But not just pancakes... We cook up some of the best hamburgers around!
