How We Serve

Lions are all about service through humanitarian projects, and District 2-S4 is no exception. District 2-S4โ€™s main humanitarian project is the Texas Lions Camp in Kerrville, Texas, but as a District, we support 7 additional humanitarian projects; Lions Eye Bank of Texas, District 2-S4 Disaster Relief Fund, Texas Lions Foundation, Lions World Services for the Blind (LWSB), District 2-S4 Youth Contests, Lions Clubs International Foundation, and Leader Dog School for the Blind. In addition to these, each of our 69 Clubs support many other local community activities.

Who We Work With

Summer Camp
Texas Lions Camp was founded on the principle that every child is deserving of a happy childhood. By inviting children to participate in activities they may have otherwise believed out of their reach, we hope to help them improve their self-esteem and step into their life's calling.

Corneal Transplants
Lions Eye Bank of Texas works inside the Department of Ophthalmology at Baylor University to the provide clinical resources of corneal specialists and others to assist in training and management of the eye bank and the corneal transplants. These resources provide solutions for those in need of sight.

Disasterย  Relief
Texas Lions Foundation concentrates its efforts in two areas: humanitarian services and disaster relief. (Grant guidelines) The Foundation strives to support projects that, while falling into one of these two categories, also have long-term and far reaching effects, and promote the objectives of the TLF.

They are the answer for thousands of people in critical need of sight and human connectivity throughout North America.
