The mission of Lions Clubs International is to empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding.

Each club agrees to the constitution and basic principles of voluntary service. We pay modest dues to the parent body and to Lions International as well as some regional and district organizations. Apart from that each club is self-governing. All administrative costs come out of our own pockets – nothing raised for charity is spent on administration.

Community Outreach

The DeAnza Lions Community Outreach program is directed to helping disadvantaged individuals in our community. Each year we provide funds, support and a helping hand to hundreds of adults and children addressing issues of education, health, hunger and emotional well-being.

  • OneSight

    Helping education through improved vision in the classroom by providing eye exams and glasses for local students.

  • Hunger at Home

    Supporting the organization with hands-on volunteering and donations

  • Vision Clinic

    Providing much needed help to vision-impaired individuals free-of charge
