Background of the Monterey Old Capitol Lions Club

We Serve
The Monterey Old Capitol Lions Club was chartered in 1964 and has been a non-profit community service organization for over 50 years. Although our club is small, we are providing our time and funds for worthwhile community projects.

In the 1920s Helen Keller challenged Lions’ clubs to become “Knights of the Blind”. We accepted that challenge and in the early 1970s we were a lead club in finding a home for the blind and visually impaired population of Monterey County. We have assisted in maintaining The Blind and Visually Impaired Center which provides free services and outreach programs to assist in overcoming the challenges of visual impairment.

We provide volunteers and raise funds by working for various community activities such as the Big Sur International Marathon where we assist with the Start-Line activities. We also formed a non-profit fund-raising arm called ‘Chariots for Charity”. We accept donated vehicles, improve them, and turn them into cash for the Blind & Visually Impaired Center and several other Monterey County charities. Over the past 15 years we have raised well in excess of $750,000 for local community-based charities.

We are proud to be Lions and encourage others to join us in fellowship and to work to improve our community.
Background of The Blind and Visually Impaired Center of Monterey County

Our mission is to encourage and inspire the people who are blind or visually impaired to transcend the loss of sight as independent contributing members of society.

Helen Keller’s challenge to Lions Clubs lives in the partnership between Monterey County Lions and the Blind & Visually Impaired Center of Monterey County. In 1972, a consortium of Lions Clubs established a home for a newly-formed blind service organization. Under the leadership of the Old Capitol Lions and the Monterey host Lions, a property with two buildings was purchased. In the ensuing 43 years the mortgage has been fully paid, the buildings improved, and most importantly, community service programs for blind and visually impaired citizens of Monterey county developed.

The Blind & Visually Impaired Center of Monterey County, Inc. (BVIC), is an independent, non-profit 501(C)3 charity It is funded from many sources including contributions from Lions. The BVIC provides the programs that are directed, in part, by blind individuals and are offered at no cost to the blind.
