Meadows of Hope

(formerly Lions Boys Ranch)

Perkins, OK

Provide a family environment with meaningful life experiences for the youth whose care has been entrusted to the Oklahoma Lions.

 Clearly there is a need for the kind of nurturing, supportive care an abuse or neglect victim can receive in a loving home environment. By adhering to the basic philosophy that all people have value and can change their lives by building on their positive attributes and addressing their negative behavior, Meadows of Hope (formerly Oklahoma Lions Boys Ranch) makes a difference.

How the Eyeglass Recycling Process Works

Lions collect used eyeglasses all over their community, and then ship them to a Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center, where trained volunteers sort the glasses, clean them and determine the eyeglasses’ prescription strengths. These glasses are given to those in need at eyeglass-dispensing missions in developing nations, where Lions and eye care professionals perform vision screenings and provide eyeglasses free of charge
