For over 30 years, the Borrego Springs Lions Club has been helping people in need--particularly children--in obtaining eye care and glasses.

Like other Lions Clubs, the Borrego version each February observes White Cane Days. This fundraiser collected almost $2,500 last year which was strictly used for yes, hearing, and other medical expenses for local residents. The club also helped a local woman who was going to need a $10,000 eye surgery. She was sent to the Lions clinic in Santa Monica and only had to pay $35.

The Lions Club puts on two pancake breakfasts a year, one during Borrego Days, and the other on Easter Sunday at the elementary school. This isn't a wimpy pancake breakfast either. In addition to flapjacks, they serve a complete menu of eggs, sausage, chili, coffee, juice, and milk.

They also do a lot of work with the local schools, they help fund playground equipment.
