Lions Code of Ethics and International Purposes
San Mateo Lions is a community service club dedicated to raising donations and providing volunteer service to a variety of Lions Clubs International and local charitable causes. The primary fundraising project in our organization is Campaign SightFirst II, a global effort to raise $150 million to support the SightFirst program in it efforts to treat and prevent blindness.
Other charitable causes of our club include service to the homeless and needy at the Maple Street Shelter and Samaritan Houses, used eyeglass collections from the community for Lions in Sight charity, volunteer service to City of San Mateo Senior Center for their annual Health Fair, and a variety of other causes noted on our Charities page.
At our meetings, we often have a local charity representative come speak to our members about their programs and financial needs. For example, we had an individual come speak to us about a specially-designed handicap-accessible playground for children with special needs.
If you know of a charitable cause we are not currently supporting, your participation in our membership can help bring awareness to your cause.
