Christmas Tree and Wreath Program - We sell trees and wreaths to raise money to help fund our vision, youth and the various programs described below. 

 

Citizenship Services - Lions work with veterans' organizations and participate in patriotic and civic programs in their communities. We sponsor youth groups such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Guides and others. Respect for law and work with delinquents are also important programs sponsored by clubs.

Diabetes Awareness - Millions of people suffer from diabetes worldwide and are unaware they have the disease. Lions educate the public about the warning signs of diabetes and its sight-threatening complications. Through Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF), they also support medical facilities and research into the treatment and detection of diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of blindness.

Health Services - Lions provide extensive medical relief to underdeveloped areas and organize a wide range of disease detection and prevention programs. Medical research institutions have also been the recipients of generous contributions from Lions clubs and districts.

Auditory equipment is furnished to schools with hearing-impaired students, and scholarships are issued to youngsters with this disability. Lions conduct screening programs for children and adults, support a variety of rehabilitation services and provide and repair hearing aids for the needy.

International Services - Lions have established many international friendship contacts and participate in worldwide assistance programs. Lions support Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF), the humanitarian aims of the United Nations, and conduct an international peace poster contest. Increasingly more young people are participating in the International Youth Exchange Program.

Recreational Services - Lions build playgrounds and donate equipment. They also build community centers, swimming pools, gardens, and town squares. Lions sponsor baseball, football, hockey, soccer, and other sports teams for youngsters. Clubs also plan and conduct carnivals, picnics, and various celebrations.

Social Services - Lions sponsor many programs for people who are physically or developmentally disabled, elderly people, and people who are underprivileged. Clubs and districts have also constructed homes for orphans and elderly people, as well as rehabilitation institutes for people with disabilities. Many clubs supply food baskets for the poor on a regular basis.
