Some of the ways the club supports the community are eye exams and glasses for residents in need, local student scholarships, sponsorship of
youth sports teams, medical equipment assistance, support to the Hershey Food Bank, and tree planting. The Hershey Lions Club meets on the first and third Tuesdays at 6:15 p.m. at the Grace United Methodist Church, 433 E. Main St., Hummelstown.
