The Lions Club of Waldwick was established in 1955 by 33 men with ties to the Borough. In doing so these residents and business owners committed themselves to do as much as they could to help meet the needs of the community, with a special emphasis on those who are blind or otherwise visually impaired.
Since then, the club has raised almost $2.5million, almost all of it used to support services for the blind in the region, or to help individuals needing assistance. The Club also helped fund additions to the Waldwick Public Library, built the community Health Center on Wyckoff Avenue, and sponsored the building of the children’s playground in Borough Park in1992.
Most importantly those men set a standard of commitment to serve that is still carried on by 35men–and one woman! Yes, the Lions Club is open to all who wish to serve.
