California Lions Diabetes Service Initiative

Screening   •  Prevention   •   Support

Together, we’re turning awareness into action.

The California Lions are proud to lead a statewide movement to combat diabetes through education, early detection, and community support. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, at risk, or caring for someone with diabetes, we’re here to help.

What We Offer

• Free Screenings: Accessible, confidential diabetes risk assessments at community events across California.
• Educational Resources: Easy-to-understand materials on prevention, management, and healthy living.
• Support Networks: Connect with Lions clubs and local partners offering guidance and encouragement.
• Inclusive Outreach: Materials available in multiple languages and formats, including screen reader-friendly and ASL-accessible options.

Move to Defeat Diabetes

Be the Reason Someone Thrives, and join our statewide challenge to walk, bike, run, or swim for diabetes awareness. Every mile counts toward our goal—and your health.

Track your movement. Share your journey. Inspire others.

Why It Matters

• 1 in 10 Californians lives with diabetes.
• Many more are at risk and don’t know it.
• Early detection saves lives—and limbs.

We believe in meeting people where they are, with compassion, clarity, and community.

• More hands. More hope. More people helped.

Every new volunteer multiplies our impact.
Every hour donated changes lives.
