From performing hands-on community work and service projects to providing emergency assistance, our community and environment programs improve our communities – and protect the environment. -
Lions focus on programs and services for the blind and visually impaired – and aim to eliminate preventable and reversible blindness. –
Lions Services for Children Projects: The problems children face vary
in degree from country to country, but the need for health and education services is constant and universal. Lions clubs help address these needs by developing services for children. A few of these are:
Organizing a vision or hearing screening, Providing immunizations through a vaccination drive, Supporting a nutritional program for undernourished children, Securing wheelchairs for disabled children, Sending a child with diabetes or physical challenges to a specialized camp. For nearly 100 years, Lions Clubs have provided resources for individuals who are blind or who have severe vision or hearing loss worldwide. A local Lions club in or near your community may sponsor a program that provides assistance for the purchase of eyeglasses, hearing aids, health-related services, scholarships or educational needs. Eyeglass Recycling: Donate glasses and change someone's life. Throughout the year, Lions, Leos and other volunteers collect used eyeglasses and deliver them to regional Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers (LERCs).
