Globe Lions Club is an active participant in the Arizona Lions District 21-B and serves as a satellite sorting center for the Arizona Lions Eyeglass Recycling Terminal (ALERT). Through this program, thousands of pairs of used eyeglasses (prescription, sunglasses and reading glasses) are provided to the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Mexico, Central and South American countries, Africa, Haiti and even US prisons by Lions Club International and other partner service organizations. Club members collect, clean and sort eyeglasses and forward them on to the Southern Arizona Association for the Visually Impaired in Tucson.
The club also supports Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF). LCIF partners with several philanthropic organizations including the Gates Foundation to help prevent the spread of measles, the Carter Center to eliminate waterborne diseases that affect vision and cause blindness, Special Olympics, and many others. LCIF also provides disaster relief assistance wherever needed by local Lions clubs to help their communities.
