Lions Clubs of Multiple District 36, Oregon and Northern California

We Serve

Lions of Oregon & Northern California are a part of an international network of 1.4 million men and women in 200 countries and geographic areas who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world. Lions are best known for working to end preventable blindness, the giving of eyeglasses and hearing aids for the needy and local service projects.

 

Mission Statement of Lions Clubs International:

 

"To create and foster a spirit of understanding among all people for humanitarian needs by providing voluntary services through community involvement and international cooperation."

 

Our 22-acre park and buildings are nestled at the foot of the Mt. Hood National Forest, in Sandy, Oregon. We offer year round workshops online and in person.  We also offer adventure retreats that include outdoor sports activities like kayaking and white water rafting.  A few times a year there are multi day getaways and seminars focused on topics ranging from topics for those new to sight loss, to art workshops, and a new seminar series for those with both sight and hearing loss. 

 Our peer to peer support program connects by phone with individuals with sight loss, blindness, and their families and caregivers and provides information and resources tailored to the individual requesting assistance. 

 We also offer in person and Zoom presentations for caregivers, health care agencies, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities for both themselves and the people they support. 

 Our tagline is “Keeping Hope and Dreams Alive”.  And we can!

Will you not help me hasten the day when there shall be no preventable blindness; no little deaf, blind child untaught; no blind man or woman unaided? I appeal to you Lions, you who have your sight, your hearing, you who are strong and brave and kind. Will you not constitute yourselves Knights of the Blind in this crusade against darkness?
— Helen Keller's Speech at 1925 International Convention Cedar Point, Ohio, USA June 30, 1925
