Pick one project or pick them all. Our volunteers make the difference in the lives of thousands of people worldwide.
Eyeglasses
On every fifth Saturday we work at the District 2-E2 Eyeglass Recycling Center, cleaning and sorting donated glasses for people who can't afford them. Volunteers also recycle cell phones, digital hearing aids, and Microsoft-based laptop computers.
Children
Ten $5,000 scholarships for Colleyville seniors, workdays at Texas Lions Camp, and bed builds with Sleep in Heavenly Peace, because no child should sleep on the floor in our town.
Neighbors
Breakfast with Santa, the Hole-in-One Shootout, the Easter Egg Festival, the Walk to End Alzheimer's, and community events hosted by the City of Colleyville and Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District.

Press and hold the chart to bring it into focus. A free screening does the same thing for a child who can't read the board at school.
