Lions clubs use separate accounting for administrative funds and charitable or service funds. Before donating to a specific club or project, donors may request details about how that organization will use and report the contribution.

District clubs frequently work with schools, health organizations, nonprofits, civic agencies, and businesses. Contact District 4-L6 or a nearby club to discuss volunteer support, co-hosted service, community outreach, or sponsorship opportunities.

Many Lions clubs collect used prescription glasses, reading glasses, and sunglasses for recycling programs. Collection sites and accepted items can change, so contact a local club or check the Lions eyeglass recycling resources before visiting a drop-off location.
