Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation Inc

The Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation (GLLF) was the dream of a blind man, Atlanta Lions Club member Tom Bingham. In 1949, the Atlanta Lions Club led by Bingham, along with Moultrie and Albany Lions, each contributed $1,000, and the Lighthouse was born. Since then, Lions Clubs have served as the cornerstone of the organization and maintain a vital role in the growth and reach of our mission: to create a better Georgia by bringing individuals into a world of sight. Together we continue to set the standard for service and equal access vision care for Georgians in need. 1.4 million Georgians are uninsured. Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation is committed to filling the gaps that still exist for underinsured Georgians by providing access to low-cost vision services.

Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation partners with a statewide network of optometrists and ophthalmologists to provide vision screenings, eye exams, eyeglasses,  and eye surgeries to over 7,000 Georgia residents each year.
