The LIONS SIGHT & TISSUE FOUNDATION of DISTRICT 2-X1, INC. (LS&TF) is a working Board of Directors made up of 15 elected voting members plus any appointed officers and the sitting 1st VDG. This Board works for the Lions of District 2-X1 to assist clubs within their communities to serve people who cannot afford the proper vision care or medical assistance for vision related surgeries.
The LS&TF has a fully equipped Mobile Vision Bus that was purchased in 2006. The Mobile Vision Bus purchase was made possible by donations from individual Lions, Lions Clubs of District 2-X1, and a grant from LCIF. Since acquiring the Mobile Vision Bus, the LS&TF has partnered with local Lions Clubs and Independent School Districts to server over 5,000 children and adults in the District.
