Foundation

Restoring Sight, Hope & Hearing…

The Northwest Lions Foundation provides financial assistance to individuals throughout the Pacific Northwest who can not otherwise afford vision and hearing related medical care.

The Foundation also partners with Lions clubs throughout Multiple District 19 of Lions Clubs International to provide health screenings at no cost to school children and adults to assist the early detection of health problems that could potentially result in the loss of vision or hearing if left untreated.
