Empowering Our Community: The Heart of Rhinelander Lions Club
Who We Are
The Rhinelander Lions Club has been a beacon of hope and support for our local community since its chartering on August 19, 1940. As the Rhinelander chapter of Lions International, we live by the motto "We Serve," dedicating our time and resources to uplift those in need.

At the Rhinelander Lions Club, our primary mission is to support and enrich the lives of children and adults who are:
- Visually impaired
- Hearing impaired
- Living with mild cognitive disabilities
We also extend our support to other worthy causes within our community that align with our focus. Our commitment to serving strengthens our community ties and fosters a spirit of camaraderie among members and the public.

- Disability services: Our efforts range from providing assistive devices to funding recreational activities for individuals with disabilities.
