Lion Mike McGlaughlin, Chair of the VA Lions Hearing Aid Bank Foundation, told us about the need for financial assistance for hearing aids in our community. About one person a week qualifies for such assistance. The foundation collects about 500 used hearing aides a year (donated by folks in our community) which are refurbished. Qualified individuals referred to specialists may obtain one those hearing aids. Fairfax Lions and other local Lions Clubs contribute to the Hearing Aid Foundation.
