Lions International

Lions International is the world's largest service club organization with 1.35 million members. There are more than 46,000 clubs in 208 countries and geographic areas. Regardless of what language they speak, religion they practice or politics they espouse, all Lions are dedicated to seeking out and helping those in need. Our programs are as diversified as our members. Started in 1917, the Lions became international with the formation of a club in Windsor, Ontario, Canada in 1920. Through the years, as the world has changed, our programs have evolved to meet new needs and greater demands. Our mission has never wavered:
