The Sweetest Way to Support Goolwa: A Lions Club Story

Step into any café, hotel, or even a paving supplier in Goolwa or Middleton, and you might spot a humble little box of Lions Mints perched on the counter. These aren’t just mints—they’re miniature powerhouses of community support, quietly making a difference one fizzing treat at a time.

Since 1976, Lions Mints have been a beloved fundraising tradition across Australia, and here in Goolwa, our local Lions Club has embraced the program with gusto. With around thirty outlets proudly displaying the mint boxes, our dedicated members work tirelessly behind the scenes—restocking, maintaining displays, and ensuring every peppermint, spearmint, musk, and fizzer is ready to brighten someone’s day.

Fizzers, it turns out, are the current crowd favourite. But no matter the flavour, every mint sold contributes to something far greater. The funds raised go directly into supporting vital causes—like helping Australia’s Paralympic athletes reach their dreams, providing mobility aids through the Australian Lions Children’s Mobility Foundation, advancing research via the Lions Cord Blood and Childhood Cancer Research Foundations, and backing countless local community projects.

It’s a simple exchange: a coin for a roll of mints.

So next time you spot a Lions Mints box, grab your favourite flavour and know you’re part of something bigger. And if you’re inspired by the spirit of service, come say hello—we’re always ready to welcome new members who want to make a difference.
