District representative Eddie McMillan of the Texas Lions Foundation spoke on its purpose and scope at the March 24th meeting of local Lions in Jacksboro.
On the subject of local projects and programs, McMillan advised that grant money was available for applicants who met certain criteria.
“Texas Lions Foundation is an organization committed to filling humanitarian needs throughout the world,” said McMillan. As a public, non-profit, tax-exempt corporation, its purpose is to promote human welfare by careful application of contributed funds.
In his notes, McMillan referred to the Web site at www.texaslions.org which explains that the foundation concentrates its efforts in two areas: humanitarian services and disaster relief. The Foundation strives to support projects that, while falling into one of these two categories, also have long-term and far reaching effects, and promote the objectives of the Texas Lions Foundation.
