Lions Eye Clinic-Monroe County

The Key West Lions Club, established in 1938, has a rich history of community service, notably through the Dr. Jose Sanchez Lions Eye Clinic, which provides essential eye care services to low-income residents of the Florida Keys. Despite facing challenging circumstances, including the loss of membership and damage from Hurricane Wilma, the Lions Club has rejuvenated its mission through a partnership with Literacy Volunteers of America, enhancing its capacity to serve the community.

This partnership has breathed new life into both organizations, leading to renewed fundraising efforts and the reopening of the Eye Clinic to meet the vision needs of less fortunate citizens. With growing membership and active literacy programs, the Lions Club is demonstrating resilience and a commitment to bettering the lives of its community members.
