Today, the Benbrook Lions Club is once again proving that community care doesn’t need a spotlight to shine. From 10 a.m. to noon at the Benbrook YMCA, they’ll be offering free vision screenings, continuing a long tradition of local service that reaches far beyond headlines.
The Lions Club’s legacy in eye health can be traced back to a powerful moment in 1925 when Helen Keller challenged them to become “knights of the blind.” That call still echoes today, showing up in acts just like this one, right here in Benbrook.
The screenings are quick, helpful, and open to the public. Whether you’re stopping by for yourself or bringing your kids, it’s an easy way to stay on top of your health and connect with a group that’s been quietly serving this community for generations.
For those interested in the history behind the mission, the Lions Club’s work with Helen Keller is worth a look. Their vision of service is just as clear now as it was then.
