See what Lions club members from around the world have to say about volunteer work benefits.
Community Service
“You see the joy in people’s hearts and they say thank you, and the smile of a child. It’s all those things that make you realize you’ve done something for your community.”

“For the mere satisfaction that I get in my heart and for the service we’re providing the less fortunate people, I’m really proud to be a Lion.”

Fun and Friendship

"Helping people is fun. And, anytime you can get together with more than one person it makes it even more fun."
