Volunteering improves our happiness, health and sense of well-being, and decreases symptoms of depression. Giving is a win-win!

We are getting set up at the Crete United Methodist Church to do Hearing, Vision, Diabetes and Blood Pressure checks. We open at 10 until 2pm. It's a beautiful day to meet some Lions and to get tuned up.

The Crete Lions are in desperate need of help!!

Our Crete Lions Club is looking for able bodied men, women and teenagers who would be willing to give an hour or two a week in VOLUNTEER service to our RECYCLE CENTER.

We are the oldest, continuously operating recycling center in the state of Illinois, started in 1945.

Many of our Crete Lion members who volunteer at our Recycle Center are getting up there in age. There is a threat of closing soon if we don't get more - younger help.

VOLUNTEERING improves mental and physical health, increases life satisfaction, and allows you to learn new, marketable skills while directly giving back to your community.

If you are retired OR just have a day off and are looking for a worthy cause to help, please consider coming to the Crete Recycle Center at 1215 Douglas Lane during our open hours - M-F 7am to 9am or Saturday 7am to noon and help us out by sorting cardboard, plastics, glass and aluminum into balers.

Your Crete Lions would appreciate the help. BONUS: We have coffee and donuts.

Many thanks in advance. email: [email protected] if you have any questions.
