SHLC members are trained caring people able to easily and efficiently screen the vision health of our nation’s youngest, dearest, and most vulnerable children to help ensure they receive early academic and social development success that we all deserve — guided by the fact that 80% of a child’s learning and development requires healthy, corrected vision.

SHLC is concerned about the physical and mental health of students and kids in our community.
SHLC supports Susie Q’s Kids comfort bag program that engages “Kids in Helping Kids” and embraces the power of positivity and “It’s OK not to be OK”.
They were awarded Community Partner of the Year by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) working with kids to promote hope/healing.
Through their program, kids become involved in philanthropic discussions, actions, and (1) select the nonprofit they wish to support (hospitals, hospice, shelters, foster care, advocacy centers, autism centers, school and youth groups, and grief centers). They learn about those organizations, the impact on the kids that receive the items, and volunteer opportunities.
At the end of the day, they inspire hope, healing, and comfort in the kids who receive the bags.
SHLC and Susie Q’s Kids provided cases of Bombas socks and comft bags, panda bears, blankets, activity items, hygiene, sensory, and grief items to local nonprofits for kids in need in their programs.
The bags were given to organizations for kids fighting medical situataions like Kids Kicking Cancer and kids wieth challenges through the Lions Bear Lake Camp program

At United Way, “we work to advance equitable communities where households are stable and children thrive.”
We believe in collaborating in our community to reach the most people and the people with the most need.
We are listed on 211 and do our best to help or offer guidance to other resource partners in our network.
SHLC held their first Collaboration Event in late March this year. It was a resounding success, we had numerous service organizations (Lions, Kiwanis, Rotary, Optimists…), different Chambers and nonprofit support orgranizations (Share Detroit, Impact 100, funders), churches, non-profits, and individuals embracing collaboration efforts.
It had a speed dating format enabling people to mingle, share their mission, their need, and how they can augment each other’s offerings.
The energy in the room was enlightening, stay tuned as SHLC leadership is committed to holding events to learn and share what areas we support and how we can work with others to maximize our stance in the community to fulfill the needs of our society.

Lions Basil and Judy Welsh are our Panera Ambassadors. They pick up the End of Day Dough-Nation, individually bag the products, and serve them to senior sin their complex to augment their food pantry and limited funding..
The seniors are extremely thankful for the contributions and praise Panera Bread and the Sterling Heights Lions Club for their generous contribution and time involved to make this opportunity possible.
As a result of this program, it also increased their coffee time together, attendance is up and more people are staying to eat lunch together instead of their rooms. Smile abounds.
