The Aiken Lions Club places top priority on assisting needy individuals with sight problems. We work with ACTS (Area Churches Together Serving) to identify qualified individuals and to assist them with their sight problems. We help cover some of the cost associated with doctor examinations and eyeglasses. If you feel that you might qualify for assistance, refer to the process section below for additional information. You must be an Aiken resident. Residents outside of Aiken should call 1-866-325-4667 for possible assistance from other SC Lions Clubs.
