Serving the community (and proud to do it!)

Today, Penny is in her second year as a board secretary and truly sees how an organization like the Lions Club can impact the community. Smithville Noon Lions Club is a service organization with members deeply committed to their community. It is part of the Lions International network, which has 1.4 million members in 49,000 clubs that aim to help millions of community members every year.

Through fundraising and special initiatives, the organization supports many efforts, including childhood cancer and wellbeing, health and hunger, humanitarian and disaster relief, and environmental concerns.

The Maximus Foundation is one of the ways Maximus colleagues are doing something greater together. Established by the Maximus Board of Directors in 2000, the Maximus Foundation is an independent, colleague-led, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Maximus team members pool their charitable contributions together through the Foundation, double their impact on the grantmaking program through Maximus’ dollar-for-dollar matching pledge, and make their voices heard by nominating and voting for future grantee partners. Though the Foundation focuses its giving strategy on grantmaking, it also helps coordinate corporate-wide humanitarian efforts and empowers staff to donate their time and skills to nonprofits. Their inspired giving and volunteerism help accelerate the missions of nonprofits on the front lines of the communities we serve. Learn more at the Maximus Foundation website.
