Welcome To the Lions Club Hearing Foundation Our primary mission revolves around Sight & Hearing disabilities. On a Local Level through the Northwest Lions Hearing Foundation the Lions help hearing impaired citizens. Because of the desperate need for help with hearing loss the Northwest Lions Hearing Foundation offers 3 Programs that provide very low cost hearing aids to low income individuals in our community. Every infant born in Clark County has their hearing screened because of a grant initiated by Lion Rex Von Krohn, who passed away in 2004 and Audiologist Nancy Bowen a member of Columbia Crest Lions. The Lions are a funding source of last resort and will help those who otherwise could not enjoy the benefits of better hearing. Our Foundation is comprised of representatives from the 13 clubs in Clark County and the Woodland Lions Club and meets at the Blind Onion at 6:00 PM on the first Tuesday of each month.
