We’re pleased to share the December 2025 issue of LCIF Iowa IMPACT, a newsletter highlighting how Lions across Iowa — and around the world — are turning compassion into meaningful action through Lions Clubs International Foundation.
This month’s edition focuses on service and the power of early intervention, featuring:
- Diabetes: A Growing Threat to Iowa Adults, highlighting how the Eagle Grove Lions, with support from a District and Club Community Impact Grant (DCG), brought diabetes awareness and A1c screening to their rural community — along with insights from LCIF District Coordinator PDG Lion Mike Nissly on why early detection and education are critical.
- A video about how Michigan Lions came together to access a $250,000 LCIF diabetes grant. Could Iowa Lions do something similar?
- A compelling LCIF video showcasing how Lions are making a difference locally and globally, including footage from Iowa.
- Helpful resources on District and Club Community Impact Grants, plus ways to connect with your LCIF District Coordinator to explore project ideas and opportunities.
