Western Harnett Lions Club
Charitable Opportunities
WHLC participates in Charity Events throughout the year for our community.
Baby Drive for Young Mothers
The Boys & Girls Home at Lake Waccamaw is a facility that helps teenagers that have been physically, sexually, and/or emotional abused. Our club does a baby drive every October at the Carolina Lakes Marina to collect donations for these young mothers and their children.

Bicycle Man Charity
The Bicycle Man is a Fayetteville-based charity dedicated to providing bicycles for children who cannot afford them. The goal of the charity is to give away approximately 1,000 bikes each year around Christmas. We collect bikes annually and set-up a bike drive at the Carolina Lake's Marina. We deliver the bikes to the Bicycle Man Charity where they are fixed up and ready to give away. The Lion's volunteer their time at this charity.
Stuff the Bus
Every August, the WHLC hold a "stuff the bus" event where donated school supplies are provided to Johnsonville Elementary School, Highland Elementary School, and BenHaven Elementary School. Each school receives approximately $500 in school supplies.
Blood Drive for Red Cross
Twice a year, on Martin Luther King Day (January) and Columbus Day (October), the WH Lions Club supports the American Red Cross by sponsoring a blood drive in Carolina Lakes Community. We have always exceeded our goals thanks to the community and the support of the lions.
Fantastic Finds Thrift Store
Located in Lillington, our Lion's Club assist in sorting, cleaning, organizing the sales floor for the benefit of those who have experienced abuse. Check out their website for more information here.
Flags for the Fallen
The WHLC Lions place Flags on Veteran's Graves at Riverview Memorial Cemetery located in Spring Lake, NC. The flags are placed the Saturday before Memorial Day and Veteran's Day and picked up the Saturday after. We place flags on 185 Veteran's Graves.
