Improved Access to Eye Care
We, the members of the Burr Ridge-Hinsdale-Oak Brook (BRHOB) Lions Club, established March 30, 1989, are dedicated to improving communities locally and globally through service and volunteerism. We donate to Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) because together, we can respond quickly for a powerful impact.
Here’s one of many BRHOB LCIF grant stories magnified by a District and Club Community Impact Grant (DCG). Through the DCG program, we were able to receive 15 percent of unrestricted contributions our club made to LCIF to fund a project in India. A $3,000 DCG provided improved access to eye care. A new vehicle was purchased, which will assist in transporting doctors and nurses to vision screenings in the local communities, and also transport patients and their caregivers to and from surgery. It is planned to target villages within a 50 km radius of Varanasi as well as less fortunate areas of the city itself.
BRHOB is honored to have participated in this service project and proud to see how LCIF’s impact on that service is made possible through donations we make to our Foundation.
