Goddard Lions Club

Community Pride - We're Sold on It!

The Goddard Lions Club's members believe that the way our community looks is important. Throughout the club's history it has taken on such projects as:
The finish work of the Goddard Public Library basement
The initial outlay of funds and volunteer support to erect three baseball / softball fields at the Goddard Middle School
The purchase of much of the Goddard Park's playground equipment, shelters, and labor for upkeep
The sponsorship of the Goddard Area Garage Sale Days
Sponsorship of the Goddard Lion's Club's Goddard's Operation Holiday which served 135 children and 71 families in the Goddard Community in 1999. Over $23,145.00 was raised through donations with the cooperation of many area organizations, business, and the Goddard Public Schools.
Widow / widowers receive fruit baskets during holidays
Donations to other organizations that support our community in times of need like the $1,000.00 donation to Salvation Army this past holiday season.
Our strong support of Boy and Cub Scouts by being the Chartered Partner for two Cub Scout Packs and one Boy Scout Troop.
The awarding of college scholarships and supporting of other worthwhile student projects or efforts that provide for the future leaders in our community.
How We Support Our Community Service while having fun

The Goddard Lions Club has three major fund-raising projects each year to help provide funds for our ongoing project to our community. They include:
Goddard Lions Club's Fall Festival
Held the 1st weekend of October, the festival has games and rides for children as well as craft, arts and health related booths. Many events happen during the festival to keep it lively including the parade, kid games, bingo, raffles, and much more.
The Lions Club also offers a advertising book that is sold to advertisers to promote the festival and Goddard High School Sports.
Goddard Lions Club's Pancake Feed
Held the third Saturday in February, the Lions serves up great pancakes and homemade sausage for the community.
Goddard Lions Club's Fireworks Stand
The Lions sell fireworks during the last part of June and 1st part of July to support the Community Fireworks show on July 4th. Our booth is located at the Northeast Corner of 199th and U.S. 54.
