With the assistance of the school nurses in Azle ISD school system, we identify and provide eye exams and eye glasses for children in need.
We sponsor children to attend without charge the Texas Lions Camp. Texas Lions Camp is a residential camping facility on 500 acres in Texas Hill County for children with physical disabilities, type 1 diabetes and cancer. It is designed to introduce the “Can Do” philosophy to children dealing with special medical conditions. Children from all over the state of Texas attend one of 9 weeks. A week designed for fun, exploration and challenge. www.lionscamp.com

Angel TreeIt is Angel Tree season and we will be concentrating on them in the months of November and December. We help approximately 350 children and growing. The local schools are given forms in which they distribute to the parents in need. We give the children pants, skirts, shoes, shirts, blouses, coats and toys. The average amount of gifts one child receives is 8 to 9 presents. Donations and a lot of caring from the people in this area do most of this. We also give each child a stocking full of candy, fruit, and toys. |
