     Lions Clubs plan and participate in a wide
     variety of service projects that meet the international
     goals of Lions Clubs International as well as the needs of
     their local communities. Examples include donations
     to hospice, or community campaigns such as Message in a
     bottle, a United Kingdom and Ireland initiative which
     places a plastic bottle with critical medical information
     inside the refrigerators of vulnerable people.

     Money is also raised for international purposes. Some of
     this is donated in reaction to events such as the 2004
     Indian Ocean Earthquake and the 20103 Typhoon
     Haiyan (Yolanda) where Lions and LCIF provided disaster
     relief locally and from around the world, with donations
     and commitments surpassing US$1 million.
