WHO WE ARE and WHAT WE DO

Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization with more than 1.4 million members in approximately 46,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.  Only qualification for membership is the desire to give back to those in need.

Since 1917, Lions clubs have offered people the opportunity to give something back to their communities. From involving members in projects as local as cleaning up an area park or as far-reaching as bringing sight to the world's blind, Lions clubs have always embraced those committed to building a brighter future for their community.

Kindness in Action

When caring people join together, roll up their sleeves and take action to make their community better, it’s a beautiful thing—and an incredible feeling for everyone involved. That’s Lions. Being a Lion is about leading by example, building relationships and improving the world through kindness. It’s 1.4 million caring men and women serving together so they can make a lasting impact and change more lives.

Our Global Causes

Every journey begins with a single step. One act of service, one encouraging word, one gift of generosity is often all it takes to bring hope where it’s needed most.

That’s why we’re uniting our global service around five areas of need. These Global Causes present significant challenges to humanity, and we believe it’s our turn to meet them.

Diabetes: We serve to reduce the prevalence of diabetes and improve quality of life for those diagnosed.

Vision: We serve to prevent avoidable blindness and improve quality of life for people who are blind and visually impaired.

Hunger: We serve to ensure all community members have access to nutritious foods.

Environment: We serve to sustainably protect and restore our environment to improve the well-being of all communities.

Childhood Cancer: Lions and Leos provide support for the needs of children and families affected by childhood cancer through impactful service activities.

Our Local Causes... we:

  • Sponsor the Bedford Community Food Pantry and set up a 501(c)(3) organization for our charity umbrella.

  • Collect medical supplies to provide life-saving equipment to those in need, around the world.

  • Conduct Vision Screening in the pre-schools with a special SPOT camera to detect 7 different eye abnormalities.

  • Provide scholarships to graduating Bedford resident high school Seniors.

  • Provide Eye Glasses and Hearing aids for residents that cannot afford them.

  • Collect Eye Glasses for reuse in 3rd world countries.

  • Sponsor a Kindness Art Show for budding elementary age artists.

  • Participate in the Trex bag recycling program at the Bedford Transfer Station.
