Club vice president Judi Gorham said the club had donated to the appeal each year for the past decade and she was proud to present a cheque for $2170.40 alongside club president Dennis Mann.
Through "a lot of man hours", the club raised the funds through a garage sale and a sausage sizzle at Bunnings.
"The public were very generous," she said.
"They knew their money was going to help those who need it most."
Ms Gorham has been involved with the Kings Meadows Lions Club for 15 years and said the sense of camaraderie and the ability to give back to the community were the highlights.
She encouraged anyone interested in joining a Lions Club to reach out.
"We can always do with extra hands," she said.
The Empty Stocking Appeal has so far raised $56, 239.75.
