FREE HEALTH AND VISION SCREENINGS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS The Lake Lure Lions Club and partners are offering free health and vision screenings and resources to the communities of Lake Lure, Chimney Rock and surrounding communities affected by Hurricane Helene. Saturday, August 8, 2026 at Lake Lure Classical Academy Gym, 1058 Island Creek Road, Lake Lure, NC 28746 from 9:00AM to 4:00PM. Services to be provided include free blood pressure and blood sugar screenings, adult and child vision screenings and exams, eyeglasses, kindergarten physicals, back-to-school haircuts, childhood vaccinations, health and family resources, car seat checks, bike safety education, and bike helmet giveaway. “During recovery from Hurricane Helene, vision and health needs may not be an immediate priority for families due to affordability concerns, and the Lake Lure Lions Club hopes to make these services more accessible." Our local partners for this event include Lake Lure Classical Academy, Foothills Health District, The Free Clinics, Safe Kids and Unifour Childrens Sight.
