The Lions Club raises money for community projects such as feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled; helping in their cause to give sight by paying for vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, and raising awareness of eye disease; supporting local children and schools with scholarships, mentoring, and more. The Lions help the community during disasters with immediate needs such as food, water and clothing. They also provide grants for humanitarian projects and have a Leo program for youth to give them an opportunity for personal development through volunteering.

Agriculture program turns barnyard waste into manure giveaway Mission CISD’s Agriculture Program is kicking off a community-wide, greenthumb initiative: free manure giveaways on the last Thursday of every month from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., while supplies last. The nutrient-rich manure is ideal for gardens, lawns, and flower beds. Community members are encouraged to bring their own containers, buckets, or trailers for easy pick-up. “We’re literally turning barnyard waste into garden gold,” said Jorge Flores, Mission CISD Career and Technical Education (CTE) Director. “It’s a win-win—our student agricultural program reduces waste, and local families get a cost-free boost for healthier soil and bigger blooms.” The manure is ideal for outdoor and garden use. Availability is firstcome, first-served. The Jose Carrera Agriculture Facility is located at 1207 W. Griffin Parkway in Mission. Jose Correra Agriculture Facility. (Courtesy Photo)
