North Florida Lions Eye Bank Charity Profile

MISSION STATEMENT:To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, promote peace and promote international international understanding through Lions clubs.
VISION STATEMENT:To be a global leader in community and humanitarian service. We are a volunteer organization under an International Association, where we enjoy fellowship with other Lions, develop our skills in leadership capabilities, and dedicate part of our free time to helping those in need, all over the world, while making our individual communities a better place to live.

The clubs here in Florida sponsor unknown thousands of local projects, from eye screening, to little league teams and parks, to scholarships, to testing for glaucoma and diabetes, to hearing testing and aids, to guide dogs for the visually impaired and blind, to hearing dogs for those with hearing imparities, to building a ramp at a home where one is needed, to providing clothing for the homeless, and the list goes on and on as long as there is a need. Lions Clubs are not limited in what they can do, it all depends on the local club and their abilities and membership.

And the greatest part of being a member of the world’s largest community service organization, is that 100% of all funds received from the public are returned to the public through community projects and service. Never are any of the funds used for the purpose of the clubs administrative needs, as this is done by the members through membership fees
