Lions Club Glasses and Hearing Aids Collections
Donation boxes for eyeglass recycling are available at the library. When the boxes are full, they
are picked up by local Lions members and dropped off at collection depots. These recycled
eyeglasses are given to people in need, with the help of various medical missionaries, in
Central and South America and around the world. When the eyeglasses arrive in these
countries, doctors and technicians conduct eye exams and provide a free pair of prescription
eyeglasses that are as close as possible to that person’s sight needs. When donating HEARING
AIDS, please be sure to place them in a small box or hard-covered case so they do not get
crushed or damaged.
