What do you do when an 82-year-old lady purchases the materials for new steps, but cannot find someone to build them for her?
You build them, of course.

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.

The Lions Club International became known as the “Knights of the Blind” due to its strong commitment to vision-related causes. This designation was largely influenced by Helen Keller, who, in 1925, addressed the Lions Club at their international convention. She challenged the members to become “knights of the blind” and to engage actively in combating blindness and providing support to those with visual impairments.
Following her call to action, the Lions Club adopted sight conservation as a primary focus, leading to various initiatives, including vision screening programs, funding for eye surgeries, and supporting research on blindness. This mission solidified their identity as champions for the visually impaired and reinforced their long-standing dedication to humanitarian service.
