Today is #WorldDiabetesDay! In Minnesota, USA, Camp Sweet Life is a five-day, four-night type 1 diabetes camp for youth. The goal of the accredited medical diabetes camp is to transform the lives of children living with type 1 diabetes and their families by providing fun opportunities for learning and connecting. In 2019, Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) awarded Lions a Diabetes Grant for US$37,500 to enhance Camp Sweet Life. The LCIF grant funded medical supplies, counselor training and programmatic expenses. Full story: https://bit.ly/4fslmAE #LionsFightDiabetes

John is a disabled veteran who suffered from PTSD. Through Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities (ECAD) and ECAD Lions Club Branch, he was paired with Archer, a service dog trained to help him through difficult times and live a happier, healthier life. "I was basically a recluse. But now that I've got this dog, I'm not afraid anymore." 🦁🐶💚 #LionsForMentalHealth https://bit.ly/48IkdlW

Volunteering with the mobile clinic by the Lions Sight and Tissue Foundation was an incredibly rewarding experience! I volunteered through my club, the Dallas Founder Lions Club, alongside the Collin Athena Alliance Club and the Sister 2 Sister student group at Dallas College El Centro Campus. Together, we hosted the clinic to bring vital eye care—like vision screenings and glasses—directly to students and others in need. During my shift, I used an Optical Digital Pupilometer to measure pupils before students saw the eye doctor, while other volunteers operated the Spot Vision Screener to detect vision issues quickly. It was a great opportunity to help those in need access critical eye care that they might not otherwise receive. The Dallas Founder Lions Club has a rich history dating back to 1916, serving the Dallas community for over a century through a variety of service projects, particularly focused on vision care and supporting those in need. Proud to be part of the Lions Clubs International global mission to improve lives through sight and other impactful causes! #lionsinternational #communityservice #philanthropy
