Our Commitment

What happens when health insurance co-pays are so high that those who are sick delay visits to the doctor or seeing a doctor is not an option? Who can help these individuals when they have urgent needs for medical attention?

PSILC has stepped up to the plate:

PSILC provide free clinics to help individuals and families who are struggling with health problems and lack viable options.
PSILC provide education on nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, and disease awareness.
PSILC provide screenings at these clinics and have resulted in early detection of life threatening symptoms.

Letter from Founders

PSILC is the First Line of Defense for people in need.

In 2012, PSILC provided medical clinics and nutrition workshops to over a thousand children, adults, and seniors in San Mateo County. At lease 10,000 more people need these services in San Matoe County alone. Today, other Bay Area counties are requesting PSILC's medical clinics and nutrition workshops.

Your support is crucial in saving lives by providing valuable resources to bring continued medical and educational services to the community. Together, we will build strong communities by teaching healthy eating, healthy lifestyles and embracing mindful living.

Join PSILC's family of community leaders to support the well being of our youth, emerging future leaders, and the health of the communities. We gladly accept donations of any size and strive to make every dollar count toward saving lives.

Respecfully,
Eleanor & Bill Britter
Co-Founders

Video: Lions Wizard of Oz Parody Come along with Dorothy, Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Lion as they follow the Yellow Brick Road to meet the Emerald City Lions Club and learn all the ways they can serve their community. This video was first shown at the International Convention in Toronto, and it’s a fun way to spread the word about Lions and let people know that Lions don’t just help out in one area of service — we’re there whenever and however our communities need us! Share this video with members and friends by posting on your club’s Facebook page, website or blog!

Recycle for Sight in May When Helen Keller named Lions “Knights of the Blind in this crusade against darkness,” Lions responded by making it our mission to serve blind and vision-impaired people everywhere. Today, we’re still known for our sight services — eyeglass recycling in particular. May is Recycle for Sight Month, and we encourage your club to participate and raise awareness about eyeglass recycling in your community. Many people often wonder how Lions eyeglass recycling works. The video above features a vision mission trip to Puerto Vallarta, organized by the Fargo Lions Club, and does a great job of explaining how eyeglasses are collected, sorted and distributed. The process begins with a simple eyeglass collection box, and ends with hundreds of eyeglasses given to children and adults in need. How is your club participating in Recycle for Sight Month? To start a Recycle for Sight program in your community, see our list of Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers, and download our Club Guide for Collecting Used Eyeglasses.

In the video, meet young Pradip, a 7-year-old boy who lives in a remote Indian village near the Bangladesh border and who was diagnosed with pediatric cataract. Thanks to Lions, he got the care he needed to improve his vision, see and read clearly, and look toward a happier, healthier future.

LQ: Lions Help Prevent Bullying The latest issue of Lions Quarterly features a segment about Lions programs that address a serious concern among today’s youth: bullying. As more and more young people use texting, email and social media as a form of communication, bullying goes even further than the school yard and can now follow kids wherever they go. The Lions Quest program provides resources that helps teachers open up a conversation about bullying in the classroom. The Leo Club program gets young people involved in community service activities, showing them the importance of helping others rather than hurting others. Watch the video to see how Lions are making an impact on today’s youth. How does your Lions club address issues such as bullying in your community?

Palmer’s Blog: Lions & Leos ROAR! Here’s a short video of me with Lions and Leos from District 412 showing our spirit! I always loving meeting new Lions who are so passionate and excited about serving their community, and it’s even better to see these Lions encouraging youth to get involved through Leo clubs. Because young Leos are the future of Lions! Be sure to engage the youth in your community by sponsoring a Leo club, inviting your children and grandchildren to family-friendly activities, and showing young people the importance of Lions service.

LQ: Lions Make Iceland Green The latest issue of the Lions Quarterly video magazine features Lions in Iceland who are addressing their country’s environmental concerns, such as soil erosion due to heavy deforestation. For decades, Lions have planted trees and grass in their communities — turning their “wounded” coastlines into green landscapes once more. Other projects include environmental cleanup activities, which encourage families and youth in the community to join in the service. Green projects such as these are great ways to bring the community together and work toward a better future. Watch the video above to see how Lions are making Iceland green. What kinds of environmental projects does your club organize?
