DALLAS - April 27, 2025 - PRLog -- New Energy Revitalizes Historic Dallas Founder Lions Club, Sparking a Bold New Chapter of Service

DALLAS, TX – April 27, 2025 — A diverse group of over 80 individuals is breathing fresh energy into the Dallas Founder Lions Club, one of the oldest Lions Clubs in Texas and among the original clubs that helped launch what is now a global organization of nearly 50,000 clubs and 1.4 million members. The club is embracing a bold new chapter of service while honoring a rich legacy of civic engagement in Dallas.

Meeting just blocks from the site of Lions Clubs International's first convention in 1917, today's Dallas Founder Lions are aligning local service initiatives with global causes championed by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Their efforts support Climate Action, Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well-Being, Quality Education, and Reduced Inequalities through hands-on projects serving the Dallas community.

After several years of meeting in North Dallas, the club returned downtown through a new partnership with Dallas College El Centro Campus. This collaboration sparked immediate impact, launching free vision screenings and mobile optometrist services for students in need through the Lions Sight and Tissue Foundation's mobile vision clinic — a vital contribution to health and wellness access for young adults in the city center.

Beyond health initiatives, the Dallas Founder Lions Club is driving forward a range of service projects, from environmental cleanups to food security programs and youth leadership development. Recent highlights include participation in the Reverchon Park Roundup, a Sleep in Heavenly Peace volunteer build day creating beds for children in need, and a yearlong series of mobile eye clinics supporting Dallas's unhoused community.
