Meriden Lions Club is one of the oldest Clubs in Connecticut, Chartered in November 1923, it has served Meriden continuously ever since. We have a well-deserved reputation for “Dirty Hands Projects” that feature members’ talents and services in service to our community, in the spirit of founder Melvin Jones. Major Lions projects are often the decision of the President, and/or Board of Directors, and approved by the club members, with the goal of filling a need and benefit in the community. Each year, a “President’s Project” is allocated financial resources in addition to the prodigious talents of our membership. The Meriden Lions provide a host of humanitarian activities that return over $70,000 annually into the community, in addition to providing community assistance in a wide range of charitable events throughout the city. These activities are possible thanks to the major fund raising events conducted by the Meriden Lions, and the generous financial support from the  Corporate and Business community. All of the dedicated Meriden Lions Club members share a common goal; To Serve the Community.
