Our 46,000 clubs and 1.4+ million members make us the world's largest service club organization. Our members do whatever is needed to help their local communities. With children who need eyeglasses, with seniors who don't have enough to eat and with people we may never meet. Lions give youth the chance to learn, grow and serve.
Our motto is "We Serve." Lions are part of a global service network, doing whatever is necessary to help our local communities. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. We have extended our commitment to sight conservation through countless local efforts and through our international SightFirst Program, which works to eradicate blindness. Lions give assistance to our planet and its inhabitants. Lions also work to protect our environment – and help people in need around the globe. Through our Community/Environment, International Relations and Disaster Relief programs, you can do projects that improve your community – and our world.
Senior Services
If a problem is detected the parents are notified and recommendations for further follow up are made. This is all free of charge and Lions provide funding for follow up care if needed. If diagnosed and treated before the age of six many problems can be successfully treated. If left untreated the sight problem could become a permanent problem.
These clubs introduce students to the value of community service. Leos and Lions work together to make a positive impact within the community. Lions volunteer their time, talents, and resources to serve the community.

Our Leo Program provides the youth of the world with an opportunity for personal development through volunteering. There are approximately 144,000 Leos and 5,700 Leo clubs in more than 140 countries worldwide. Lions collect used eyeglasses for recycle and provide new glasses for those in need. There are six collection boxes at various locations on the mountain for people to drop off their used and unwanted glasses.
To become a Lion is to become an active volunteer, a member of a respected international organization, a leader in your community and a friend to people in need. Lions give everyone the opportunity to live a healthy life. Since Helen Keller challenged Lions to be “knights of the blind” in 1925, clubs like ours have worked on sight projects. The Lions Club offers members an opportunity to network with other members and people in the community. This is a great way to meet people and make new friends on Signal Mountain and beyond. This often leads to long lasting relationships.

Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world every day because they share a core belief - to serve their community. The Mountain Home Lions Club was organized on June 20, 1947. We are dedicated to providing sight-care assistance to our community. Visit the Lion's website for information on sight-care and local events and contact info. Lions are groups of service-minded men and women who are interested in improving their communities. We are young people, families and Baby Boomers alike.

Whenever a Lions club gets together, problems get smaller. That's because we help where help is needed - in our own communities and around the world - with unmatched integrity and energy.
Lions support many local community organizations with hands on work and financial donations. Lions understand we can achieve more when we work together. Partnering with like-minded organizations is positive for both organizations and the community. Lions hold a BBQ event on the 4th of July and Labor Day every year to offer the community a place to come together for delicious food and fellowship. This is a great family orientated event for the whole mountain. Members of the club reach out to seniors in the community to offer various types of service from ride sharing to calling bingo at Alexian Village.
That’s why many Lions clubs choose to work on youth projects such as sponsoring a Leo club, a local Peace Poster Contest or a Youth Camp and Exchange – or providing services for children and youth in need. Our community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. Internationally, we offer many programs, including the Peace Poster Contest, Youth Camps and Exchange and Lions Quest. Lions conduct an annual raffle to raise funds for scholarships, sight conservation projects and to support other community non-profit organizations. The Mountain Home Lions club helps make our community a better place to live.
