About

The Greenbelt Lions Club is a part of Lions District 22-C, which includes Washington D.C., and Calvert, Charles, Montgomery, Prince George's, and St. Mary's Counties in Maryland. The club conducts various fundraisers (White Cane Days twice a year and several Gift Wraps at Beltway Plaza) to provide funding for vision research at the Wilmer Eye Institute, support to the District 22-C Eye and Tissue Bank, and scholarships for youth camps for the disabled at Lions Camp Merrick. We also sponsor a district-wide “Toys for Needy Children” toy drive which kicks off with a parade at Beltway Plaza in late November each year, sponsor a “Bike 'n' Trike” float entry in Greenbelt's annual Labor Day parade, and hold a Community Pancake Breakfast with Santa during Greenbelt's Festival of Lights celebration in December each year. We even co-sponsor a walking club with Doctors Hospital and Beltway Plaza called the Gaitors Club. The group meets to walk inside the Plaza at will and invites regular guest speakers to come and talk to members about various health topics several times a year. Membership in the Gaitors Club is free.
