We Serve

The Moraga Lions are a group of service-minded men and women who are interested in improving our community. We serve Moraga, Orinda and Lafayette.

Giving Reusable Goods a Second Life

The Lions Closet is a simple idea with a big impact: we serve as a community donation hub for quality, reusable goods. We partner with local realtors and estate sale companies to pick up items directly from homes being prepared for sale.

What We Accept

If it belongs in a home, we can likely repurpose it—including furniture, household items, tools, clothing, and more.

Why It Matters

• Helping People: Donated items are carefully sorted and distributed to local charities supporting veterans, children, disaster relief, unhoused individuals, and families in need.

• Helping the Planet: Keeping usable goods out of landfills reduces waste and fosters a more sustainable community.

On Saturday, September 27, 2025 the Town of Moraga will hold the Annual Pear Festival at the Moraga Commons.  Campolindo Leo Club, Moraga Lions Club and Kiwanis Club will provide a variety of food which produces gross sales of about $7,500.

Also, the Moraga Lions Club hosted a beer and wine booth which had sales of approximately $4000.

The net proceeds from the Pair Festival sales will be used by the Moraga Lions Clubs to  continue to support several youth programs in the Lamorinda Area.
