Lions Club of Princeville
Mission Statement:
The Lions Clubs International Mission Statement is, "To create and foster
a spirit of understanding among all people for humanitarian needs by
providing voluntary services through community involvements and
international cooperation"
In addition, Lions extend their commitment to sight conservation through
countless efforts, as well as through their international SightFirst and
Lions World Sight Day, a global partnership of United Nations agencies, eye
care and philanthropic organizations and health professionals, to rid the
work of preventable blindness. Lions also collect and recycle eyeglasses for
distribution in developing countries.
In addition, Lions make a strong commitment to young people through youth
outreach programs. Lions also work to improve the environment, building
homes for the disabled, support diabetes education, conduct hearing programs
and, through their foundation, provide disaster relief around the world.
Based on a recent report, Lions clubs worldwide donate approximately $506
million and 71 million hours, which is equivalent to 34,000 people working
full time for a year.
