Who We Are

Since 1956, the Lions of District 22-C have been a community based, not-for profit organization whose primary objective is to prevent blindness and diabetes through sight-saving outreach programs.

What We Do

Early detection is the key to preventing blindness and diabetes. We provide health screenings, eyeglasses, and financial assistance for sight saving medical treatments. Our programs include, Mobile Health Unit Screening Clinics, Eyeglass Recycling, Francis J. Garner Memorial Fund and Sight First-Diabetes Education.

Why We Do It

Lions recognize the impact that prevention and education has on the community at large and especially at-risk populations. Our ambitious grassroots programs evolved through the official Lions motto "We Serve".

Our Service Area

Our service area includes Montgomery, Prince George's, and Southern Maryland Counties, as well as the District of Columbia. We participate in health fairs, school functions, church events, festivals, and other community gatherings.
