Money for our community service is raised by various means. We make homemade crab cakes and sell them from our mobile trailer with other food sales. We sell Car Raffle tickets, sponsor Pig Roasts and have other types of fund raisers to help in our service to the community.

We provide assistance to those in the community who find they are in need of clothing, fuel oil, or other necessities.

We provide scholarships for graduating seniors of Middletown High School and the soon to be Appoquinimick High School.

We provide eye exams and glasses to members of the MOT(Middletown-Odessa-Townsend) community that cannot afford to purchase them.

We support the activities of many other service clubs and organizations in the MOT community.

In addition to fulfilling our primary objective of serving the local community, the efforts the Middletown Lions put forth allow the Club to serve our fellow man on a Statewide, National or Worldwide basis.

Through Lions Clubs International we contribute to the many assistance programs that aid victims of disaster in the United States and throughout the world.

Through the Multiple District 22 we contribute to the Lions Low Vision Research Center at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Through District 22-D we contribute to the Delaware Lions Foundation that provides matching grants to clubs throughout 22-D to support projects that would normally be beyond the ability of individual clubs to fund.

We participate in the Blue-Gold Football game that benefits the mentally challenged in the state.
